UNSPSC 10314711: Fresh cut white hyacinth

Fresh cut bloom of the white variety of hyacinths

UNSPSC 10314711 Fresh cut white hyacinth is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental plants and floral products purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal actual procurement of white hyacinths or fresh-cut flowers; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broad categories of plants, educational supplies, and infrastructure work that do not align with the code's specific commodity scope. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county purchasing cooperatives serving school districts, and municipal facilities management offices. The work being solicited includes multi-year hanging basket design, installation, and maintenance contracts; general plant purchases for municipal facilities; and educational supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico in recent postings, with activity driven by seasonal landscaping needs and municipal grounds maintenance.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured. Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident business preferences under state statute. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026 for a purchase of plants with a February 3 deadline, specifying new, unopened, original-packaging items FOB delivery to Dallas, with lowest responsive and responsible vendor evaluation and a one-year warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, estimated at $40.677 billion over a two-year term through a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple school districts. The code shows little recent activity concentrated on fresh-cut white hyacinths specifically; procurement professionals should verify code assignment against actual scope of work when pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity.
