UNSPSC 10315609: Fresh cut purple lisianthus

Fresh cut bloom of the purple variety of lisianthuses

UNSPSC 10315609 Fresh cut purple lisianthus is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure ornamental cut flowers, primarily through parks and recreation departments, county beautification programs, and cooperative educational purchasing agreements. The recent opportunities block shows marked mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity: the code is tagged to a $40.677 billion education cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628), an IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure reconstruction for a tennis center (DeKalb County), and a general plants procurement (City of Dallas). Only one opportunity — Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets design, installation, and maintenance — aligns squarely with ornamental floristry work. This fragmentation suggests the code sees limited dedicated activity or may be misapplied by issuing bodies tagging broader purchasing categories to it.

Recent opportunities show sparse geographic spread across Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative cooperative, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). The Los Alamos County RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, represents the only clearly relevant solicitation: it requires up to 144 hanging flower baskets (136 current installation plus 8 maintenance replacements) across town-site streets, with annual design, installation, and maintenance through December 1 each year. The contractor must hold a New Mexico Department of Agriculture nursery dealer license and supply all plant material according to specified designs; Los Alamos County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas IFS 215260 (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026) procured plants generally with no species specification, FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas. The limited and uneven activity under this code suggests it does not represent a concentrated or recurring opportunity for cut-flower vendors pursuing state and local contracts.
