UNSPSC 10316000: Fresh cut ornamental peppers

Fresh cut blooms of ornamental pepper flowers

UNSPSC 10316000 Fresh cut ornamental peppers is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses a broader range of ornamental plants and floral supplies for municipal and county beautification, landscape maintenance, and educational procurement programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county purchasing cooperatives serving school districts, municipal parks and recreation departments, and city procurement offices. The actual buying activity spans fresh flowering plants for street landscaping, hanging baskets with seasonal plantings, general plant material procurement, and educational supplies bundled with gardening or horticultural products through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 in June 2026 for catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026 at 1:30 p.m., supporting an estimated $40.677 billion in expenditures over a two-year cooperative contract term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028. Los Alamos County in New Mexico solicited RFP2655 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time and evaluation weighted toward qualifications, references, design, and cost; the procurement requires vendors to hold a valid nursery dealer license from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture and offers local, resident, and veteran business preferences under New Mexico law. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 in January 2026 for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plant material delivered FOB to a Dallas address. A fourth opportunity, DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for tennis center reconstruction, tagged under this code, addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than ornamental plants and represents a coding mismatch with the code's nominal scope.
