UNSPSC 10316103: Fresh cut umbellatum ornithogalum

Fresh cut bloom of the umbellatum ornithogalums

UNSPSC 10316103 Fresh cut umbellatum ornithogalum is a Commodity code that, despite its specific botanical designation, does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover educational supplies discounts, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and general plant purchases — none of which represent fresh cut ornithogalum flowers or horticultural commodities matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is used as a catch-all for broader plant and floral procurement without regard to the specific species name. State and local governments entering bids under this code should verify the actual scope in each individual solicitation rather than assuming alignment with the code's technical UNSPSC title.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), DeKalb County in Georgia, Los Alamos County in New Mexico, and the City of Dallas in Texas. Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Southwest, with at least two separate Texas entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative and the City of Dallas) posting within the review period. The most substantial opportunity is Region 7's EDACT2628 cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational activities and supplies, due July 30, 2026, with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year contract term — though the actual relevance of this opportunity to fresh cut ornithogalum is minimal. Los Alamos County's RFP 2026-076 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, is the most directly related to horticultural procurement on file and includes preferences for local, New Mexico resident, Native American resident, and veteran-owned businesses. The code shows little substantive recent activity in its stated commodity area.
