UNSPSC 10315503: Fresh cut misty white limonium

Fresh cut bloom of the misty white variety of limoniums

UNSPSC 10315503 Fresh cut misty white limonium is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses floral products and related landscaping supplies for municipal and educational institutions. The recent opportunities posted under this code, however, reveal significant scope mismatch: the four most recent solicitations include a regional education cooperative's catalog discount bid for general educational activities and supplies, DeKalb County's IT infrastructure rebuild for a tennis center, Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket design and maintenance contract, and the City of Dallas's purchase of plants with no specification of variety or quantity. Only the Los Alamos and Dallas opportunities directly involve cut flowers or plant material; the education cooperative solicitation and the DeKalb County tennis center ITB are unrelated to the limonium code's nominal scope. Issuing bodies include city governments (Dallas), county governments (DeKalb, Los Alamos), and regional education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The education cooperative's EDACT2628 solicitation is a renewal or continuation of an existing multi-entity purchasing vehicle with 136 previous awards, indicating a standing demand for educational supplies but not for cut florals specifically.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts statewide, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). Among the plant-material-relevant opportunities, Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets with maintenance, due June 4, 2026, requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offers local, resident, and Native American business preferences; the contract contemplates up to seven years with pricing required for each potential year. The City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for plants, due February 3, 2026, requires new, unopened stock shipped FOB to Dallas with a one-year warranty and no substitutes accepted. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with cut florals; most recent volume appears concentrated in general horticultural and landscaping services rather than specialty cut-flower procurement by state and local bodies.
