UNSPSC 10314820: Fresh cut mini green hydrangea

Fresh cut bloom of the mini green variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10314820 Fresh cut mini green hydrangea is a Commodity code that represents ornamental florals and plant materials procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance projects. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a mix of two distinct buying patterns: direct purchases of plant materials by municipalities and counties for immediate delivery and use, and multi-year service contracts for the design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of planted displays managed by licensed contractors. The City of Dallas procured fresh plants for delivery to a municipal facility under an informal solicitation requiring new, unopened items in original packaging with FOB delivery pricing, while Los Alamos County sought a multi-year contractor to supply, design, install, and maintain up to 144 hanging flower baskets across the town site using specified plant materials and irrigation infrastructure. Issuing bodies range from municipal Parks and Recreation divisions to county Parks, Recreation and Open Space divisions and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's broad educational-supplies catalog bid (spanning a $40.677 billion two-year expenditure estimate with 136 prior awards) shows that ornamental florals may also be tagged under this code when part of larger educational or facility-maintenance supply agreements, though such multicommodity solicitations diverge significantly from the code's primary scope.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) is conducting a competitive RFP with a June 4, 2026 response deadline and July 14, 2026 estimated award date, requiring contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and qualifying for local, state resident, Native American, and veteran-preference designations under New Mexico Code. The City of Dallas (Texas) closed an informal solicitation for plant purchases on February 3, 2026, requiring one-year replacement warranties and non-discrimination compliance under Dallas City Code Chapter 15B, with delivery to a single municipal address. Los Alamos County's multi-year approach emphasizes design and maintenance qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), suggesting that mid-sized jurisdictions increasingly view hanging-basket and ornamental-floral programs as managed services rather than transactional goods buys. No recent opportunities show activity in other states or at the state-level procurement offices.
