UNSPSC 10314805: Fresh cut antique pink hydrangea

Fresh cut bloom of the antique pink variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10314805 Fresh cut antique pink hydrangea is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities posted since January 2026 span educational supplies catalog discounts, IT infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, hanging flower baskets with maintenance, and general plant purchases — none of which are specifically fresh cut antique pink hydrangea. The code appears to function as a catch-all botanical or landscaping category rather than a precise item-level specification, and the opportunities reveal that state and local buyers use it to solicit plants and floral services broadly rather than the single variety the code nominally names.

The issuing bodies include a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), a county parks and recreation division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and a city procurement office (City of Dallas, Texas). The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, with Texas appearing twice. Representative recent opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with a multi-year contract term and weighted evaluation on qualifications, references, design, and cost; the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 (due February 3, 2026) for new plants in original packaging delivered FOB to a Dallas address; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid (due July 30, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards indicating a renewal cooperative purchasing vehicle. The code shows modest recent activity and appears underutilized for its nominal scope; vendors pursuing state and local plant and floral work should monitor whether this code continues to serve as a generic placeholder or whether jurisdictions shift to more specific commodity designations.
