UNSPSC 10315613: Fresh cut white with purple edge lisianthus

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

UNSPSC 10315613 Fresh cut white with purple edge lisianthus is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental cut flowers, yet recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied to a wide range of plant material and horticultural services that extend well beyond the specific flower variety named. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) and the City of Dallas (Texas) have used the code for broad plant procurement — hanging baskets with live plants and maintenance, and general plant purchases — while the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas tagged it to a $40.677 billion educational supplies cooperative contract spanning two years. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope (a single cut-flower variety) and the actual work being solicited under it suggests inconsistent coding practice across jurisdictions or a broader interpretation of the code in state and local systems. Issuing bodies span counties, cities, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles, indicating the code is used across general-purpose and special-purpose jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County issued an RFP in May 2026 for hanging flower baskets with multi-year maintenance, with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local, resident, and veteran preferences. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation in January 2026 for plant purchases (deadline February 3, 2026) specifying new, unopened stock delivered FOB to a Dallas address with a one-year warranty. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's education supplies contract (due July 30, 2026) and a DeKalb County, Georgia IT infrastructure reconstruction bid (due July 13, 2026) appear unrelated to horticultural or plant procurement and likely represent coding errors. Vendors pursuing genuine plant and horticultural opportunities under this code should expect direct engagement with county parks divisions and city landscape maintenance functions rather than state-level centralized buying, and should verify actual scope alignment during pre-bid clarification rather than relying on the formal code description.
