UNSPSC 10314601: Fresh cut bihai claw heliconia

Fresh cut bloom of the bihai claw variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10314601 Fresh cut bihai claw heliconia is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader category of horticultural products and services — including hanging flower baskets, general plant procurement, and related landscape maintenance — rather than the specific flower type the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing live plants, cut flowers, and associated installation and maintenance services for public spaces, parks, and facilities. The issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county government entities, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles on behalf of school districts and other public institutions. Work typically involves supplying plant material meeting specified quality and packaging standards, delivering to municipal locations, maintaining landscape installations according to design specifications, and in some cases providing multi-year maintenance contracts with phased plantings and seasonal replacements.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. The Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division issued RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, due June 4, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points) and design and maintenance solutions (35 points), and local and resident-business preferences available under New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened items in original packaging delivered FOB to Dallas at 1775 California Crossing Road, with a one-year warranty and lowest responsive bid evaluation. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 for catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, covering an estimated $40.677 billion over two years and serving multiple school districts within the cooperative network. The code shows active demand from municipal parks departments and education cooperatives but limited recent volume compared to other horticultural and grounds-maintenance categories.
