UNSPSC 10314611: Fresh cut psittacorum heliconia

Fresh cut bloom of the psittacorum variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10314611 Fresh cut psittacorum heliconia, a Commodity code, describes ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural supply products that state and local governments procure for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal a disconnect between the nominal commodity and actual purchasing activity: the recent opportunities tagged to this code include a regional education cooperative's catalog discount bid for general educational supplies, an IT infrastructure installation for a tennis center reconstruction, a hanging flower basket design and maintenance contract, and a plant purchase bid. Of these, only the hanging flower baskets and plant purchase align with fresh-cut or living ornamental plant procurement; the education and IT infrastructure solicitations do not represent horticultural commodity activity.

Los Alamos County, New Mexico posted an RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plants with bids due February 3, 2026. The Los Alamos RFP requires vendors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, maintain drip irrigation systems, and guarantee plant replacements within ten days of installation at no cost to the County; the contract contemplates up to seven years with vendor-proposed annual pricing. The Dallas procurement specified new, unopened plants in original packaging FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, with a one-year warranty and no alternatives or substitutes accepted. Geographic activity appears centered in the Southwest and Texas, though the education cooperative solicitation (Region 7, Texas) was mistagged under this horticultural code and does not represent relevant purchasing intent.
