UNSPSC 10314604: Fresh cut caribea red heliconia

Fresh cut bloom of the caribea red variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10314604 Fresh cut caribea red heliconia is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not capture floriculture and horticultural procurement in any meaningful way. The code's literal scope — a single cut-flower species — bears no relationship to the actual work being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include a $40.677 billion catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), an IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure reconstruction project for a tennis center (DeKalb County, Georgia), a hanging flower baskets design and maintenance contract (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and a plant purchase solicitation (City of Dallas, Texas). Of these four opportunities, only the Los Alamos and Dallas procurements involve plants or flowers; the educational catalog and IT infrastructure projects have no connection to the code's scope whatsoever. The mismatch between the code definition and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous procurements.

The geographic spread of these four opportunities spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, with no concentration in any single state or region. Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets RFP (due June 4, 2026) and the City of Dallas's plant purchase IFS (due February 3, 2026) are the only solicitations that arguably relate to floriculture or plant material. Beyond these two, the code shows little relevant recent activity for a business development professional focused on plants, seeds, or cut flowers. The issuing-body mix is fragmented across school district cooperatives, county governments, and municipalities. Unless your firm is actively pursuing miscellaneous commodity procurements through general catalogs or has expertise in educational supply aggregation, this code presents minimal opportunity signal in its current form.
