UNSPSC 10314821: Fresh cut oakleaf hydrangea

Fresh cut bloom of the oakleaf variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10314821 Fresh cut oakleaf hydrangea is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants used in municipal and county landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance operations. The recent activity under this code shows state and local governments procuring cut flowers and potted plants for public spaces, parks, streetscape enhancements, and general grounds programs. Los Alamos County, New Mexico procured hanging flower baskets with annual planting and maintenance services under RFP26-55 (response due June 4, 2026); the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) for plants in January 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid solicitation for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) that encompasses the broader product family. Issuing bodies active under this code include county governments, city parks and recreation departments, and regional education cooperatives serving multiple school districts. The scope encompasses supply of new, unopened plant material delivered to specified sites, often with associated installation, maintenance, or replacement commitments.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and the Southwest, with Los Alamos County, New Mexico and the City of Dallas both posting opportunities in the first half of 2026. The Los Alamos hanging baskets RFP required proposals within a multi-year framework with annual pricing over up to seven years, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); offerors needed a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and could qualify for state and local preference certifications under New Mexico procurement law. The City of Dallas plant purchase (IFS 215260) required FOB delivery pricing to a single Dallas location with a one-year warranty from acceptance and firm pricing for thirty days post-submission. Both solicitations emphasized new, unopened product in original packaging with no substitutes accepted, and both required online submission through vendor portals. The region's activity suggests steady municipal demand for cut flowers and plant material tied to seasonal beautification and grounds maintenance cycles.
