UNSPSC 10314618: Fresh cut southern cross heliconia

Fresh cut bloom of the southern cross variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10314618 Fresh cut southern cross heliconia is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers ornamental plants and floral materials for municipal landscaping and maintenance projects, not the specific species alone. State and local governments soliciting under this code include municipalities (cities), counties, school districts via cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose park and recreation departments. The work ranges from purchase of nursery stock and cut flowers for public spaces to multi-year design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of ornamental plantings in streetscapes and civic facilities. Recent solicitations show strong demand for plant material with warranty and replacement guarantees, compliance with local nursery licensing or horticultural standards, and coordination with municipal landscape or parks divisions.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico posted an RFP in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local, resident, and Native American business preferences under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21; proposals were due June 4, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for purchase of plants requiring new, unopened stock delivered FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, with a one-year warranty and bids due February 3, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a cooperative catalog-discount bid solicitation EDACT2628 in June 2026 covering educational activities and supplies broadly (including but not limited to plants and horticultural materials) for multiple school districts, with proposals due July 30, 2026 and an estimated expenditure of $40.677 billion over the two-year contract term. A fourth record—DeKalb County's tennis-center reconstruction ITB—tags the UNSPSC code but solicits IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation unrelated to plants or ornamental materials.
