UNSPSC 10314501: Fresh cut augustine heather

Fresh cut bloom of the augustine variety of heathers

UNSPSC 10314501 Fresh cut augustine heather is a Commodity code that in practice captures ornamental plant material and landscape supplies sourced by state and local governments for parks, recreation facilities, streetscapes, and educational procurement cooperatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring fresh-cut florals, live nursery stock, hanging flower baskets with seasonal plantings, and associated landscape maintenance services rather than the specific horticultural cultivar the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, municipal purchasing offices, regional education service centers operating cooperative procurement vehicles, and city departments of public works or parks. The mix spans rural and urban jurisdictions and includes multi-year maintenance agreements alongside one-time plant purchases.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), Los Alamos County in New Mexico, and the City of Dallas. A representative solicitation is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, due June 4, 2026, with weighted evaluation of qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), and a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026; the county offers local business, resident business, Native American resident business, and veteran business preferences under county code and New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock FOB delivery to a Dallas address with one-year warranty coverage. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 is a catalog discount bid vehicle for educational supplies and activities with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards, indicating a renewal of an established cooperative purchasing agreement with proposals due July 30, 2026.
