UNSPSC 10316003: Fresh cut ornamental orange pepper

Fresh cut bloom of the ornamental orange pepper flowers

UNSPSC 10316003 Fresh cut ornamental orange pepper is a Commodity code that covers ornamental plant materials and horticultural supplies for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct activity for fresh cut ornamental peppers themselves; instead, the code appears in a broader educational and procurement ecosystem where ornamental plant materials are cataloged as supplies. The issuing bodies range across school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), counties (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County, City of Dallas), and municipalities, with emphasis on regional education service centers managing multi-entity purchasing agreements. The work being solicited includes hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance (Los Alamos County RFP26-55), bulk plant purchases for municipal use (City of Dallas Informal Solicitation 215260), and catalog discount arrangements for educational institutions and their supply networks.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts statewide, City of Dallas), New Mexico (Los Alamos County), and Georgia (DeKalb County). Los Alamos County's RFP for Hanging Flower Baskets (RFP2655, due June 4, 2026) represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity, requiring a contractor holding a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license to design, install, and maintain up to 144 hanging baskets across town streets over a potential seven-year contract term, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points); the County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences. The City of Dallas plant procurement (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, now closed) required new, unopened plant material FOB delivery to a specific Dallas address with lowest-responsive-and-responsible bid evaluation. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid (due July 30, 2026) targets $40.677 billion in estimated expenditures over two years and includes ornamental supplies as part of broader educational product offerings. Recent activity is sparse and scattered; the code does not anchor consistent statewide or multi-jurisdictional demand.
