UNSPSC 10315804: Fresh cut paperwhite narcissus

Fresh cut bloom of the paperwhite variety of narcissus

UNSPSC 10315804 Fresh cut paperwhite narcissus (Commodity) covers ornamental plants and cut flowers procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and horticultural projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring fresh flowers and potted plants through both standing cooperative purchasing agreements for general supply and project-specific RFPs for municipal beautification work. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, cities, and regional education cooperatives—though education cooperatives soliciting under this code appear to procure a broad range of educational supplies rather than fresh flowers specifically. The work encompasses supply and installation of hanging flower baskets with ongoing seasonal maintenance, delivery and placement of cut and potted plant material at specified municipal locations, and compliance with quality and packaging standards. Contractors typically must hold relevant horticultural credentials such as nursery dealer licenses when required by state law.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 for the design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 14, 2026; the procurement favors local, resident, and Native American-owned businesses under New Mexico preference statutes. The City of Dallas solicited plant purchases under IFS 215260 (due February 3, 2026) for delivery to a municipal facility, requiring new, unopened stock with one-year warranty coverage. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its school-district network—though the match between this education-focused cooperative vehicle and fresh flower commodity sourcing appears indirect. DeKalb County's ITB for tennis-center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026) was mistagged under this code and involves IT infrastructure, not floriculture.
