UNSPSC 10316200: Fresh cut peonies

Fresh cut blooms of peony

UNSPSC 10316200 Fresh cut peonies is a Class code covering ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural materials purchased by state and local jurisdictions for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and beautification projects. The recent solicitation record shows material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity: three of four recent opportunities involve broader plants-and-supplies purchasing (educational supplies catalogs, general plant procurement) or grounds beautification services (hanging basket design, installation, and maintenance) rather than fresh cut peonies specifically. One solicitation—Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design and maintenance—does involve live flowering plants and their horticultural management, but encompasses the full lifecycle of plantings rather than cut-flower supply. Issuing bodies include school district cooperatives, county parks departments, and city procurement offices, reflecting a mix of educational, municipal parks, and general municipal purchasing activity.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico is the primary issuer with recent activity directly touching the horticultural space: its RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), and preference available for local, New Mexico resident, Native American resident, and veteran business classifications. The City of Dallas solicited general plant procurement under IFS 215260 in January 2026, requiring new, unopened plants FOB Dallas delivery with no alternatives accepted. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas education service center) issued a catalog discount bid for educational supplies under EDACT2628 with response due July 30, 2026 and a two-year contract value of $40.677 billion beginning August 20, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity narrowly matching fresh cut peony procurement; most recent postings fall outside the code's stated scope.
