UNSPSC 10315608: Fresh cut pink with white edge lisianthus

Fresh cut bloom of the pink with white edge variety of lisianthuses

UNSPSC 10315608 Fresh cut pink with white edge lisianthus is a Commodity code that frames horticultural and floral products state and local governments procure for landscaping, parks, and public grounds maintenance. The recent opportunities under this code show a mismatch: while the code nominally describes a specific cut-flower variety, the opportunities actually posted span general plant procurement (potted plants for municipal delivery), hanging flower baskets with multi-year maintenance contracts, and educational supplies catalogs—none of which center on cut lisianthus. The code shows little activity that aligns with its stated scope. Among the opportunities that do involve plants, the work includes design and installation of seasonal hanging baskets with year-round maintenance, supply of potted ornamental plants for municipal facilities, and cooperative purchasing of educational and general supplies through regional education service centers.

The issuing bodies are mixed: Los Alamos County in New Mexico, the City of Dallas in Texas, DeKalb County in Georgia, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center serving multiple school districts). The most recent relevant opportunity is Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower baskets and maintenance, posted May 7, 2026, with proposals due June 4, 2026, covering design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 baskets with a seven-year contract term and evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance approach (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points)—the County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under New Mexico law. The City of Dallas conducted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for general plant purchases, due February 3, 2026, requiring new unopened plants delivered FOB Dallas with a one-year warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) encompasses broader educational supplies and materials with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year period. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with limited recent evidence of true lisianthus-specific procurement under this code.
