UNSPSC 10316100: Fresh cut ornithogalums

Fresh cut blooms of the ornitholgalums

UNSPSC 10316100 Fresh cut ornithogalums is a Class code under which state and local governments procure ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural materials for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance projects. The recent opportunities show a much broader scope than the code name suggests — issuing bodies are soliciting plants and plant-related services ranging from hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance to general plant inventory purchases and educational supply catalogs that may include ornamental plants. The mix of issuing bodies includes education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles, counties, cities, and municipal parks and recreation divisions. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, is a standout repeat buyer, operating a large cooperative agreement (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards, indicating an established contracting relationship serving multiple school districts.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, and reflect geographic diversity in local procurement activity. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026; the contractor must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply all plant material, and maintain plantings according to specified designs, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points), and the contract term spans up to seven years with local, resident, and veteran business preferences available under New Mexico law. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for plant purchases with a February 3, 2026 deadline, requiring new unopened plants delivered FOB to a specified Dallas address, one-year warranty coverage, and no substitutes accepted. DeKalb County, Georgia posted ITB 2026-076-ITB on June 9, 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026), which included IT and low voltage infrastructure installation but appears unrelated to the ornithogalums code and may represent a tagging mismatch.
