UNSPSC 10314617: Fresh cut small red heliconia

Fresh cut bloom of the small red variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10314617 Fresh cut small red heliconia is a Commodity code that designates ornamental flowering plants for landscape, event, or decorative use by state and local government entities. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments procuring fresh-cut and potted flowering plants, hanging flower baskets, and related plant material for municipal beautification, parks, recreation facilities, and landscaping programs. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county government, and school district cooperative purchasing consortia. The scope spans design and installation of planted displays, multi-year maintenance contracts for flowering baskets on municipal streetscapes, and one-time purchases of potted plants for city facilities, with vendors typically required to hold nursery licenses and provide replacement guarantees for plant material that fails within specified timeframes.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and New Mexico based on recent postings. Los Alamos County, New Mexico is soliciting RFP proposals (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across the town site under a multi-year contract term of up to seven years, with a pre-proposal conference May 13, 2026 and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solutions (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); the County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences. The City of Dallas conducted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) for purchase of new, unopened potted plants with FOB delivery to a single address and a one-year warranty requirement. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies to serve multiple school districts, though the scope noted in that solicitation spans broad educational products rather than heliconia specifically. Recent activity under this code is sparse and geographically concentrated; most solicitations align with municipal parks and landscaping rather than bulk educational procurement.
