UNSPSC 10316209: Fresh cut festiva maxima peony

Fresh cut bloom of the festiva maxima variety of peony

UNSPSC 10316209 Fresh cut festiva maxima peony is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of horticultural and landscape supply purchases than the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring fresh plant material, hanging flower baskets, seasonal plantings, and related nursery products for parks, public spaces, and landscaping projects. The issuing bodies include municipalities (cities like Dallas and Los Alamos), counties (DeKalb County, Georgia), and regional education cooperatives serving school districts. The work ranges from single-item plant purchases to multi-year landscape maintenance contracts requiring horticultural expertise and licensing, with evaluation criteria typically emphasizing qualifications, design capability, maintenance quality, and cost.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Southwest and Southeast. Los Alamos County, New Mexico posted an RFP on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026; the contract contemplates up to seven years with New Mexico resident and local-business preferences available. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) in January 2026 for plant purchases delivered to a specific Dallas address with a February 3, 2026 deadline. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628) on June 15, 2026 with a July 30, 2026 deadline covering educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its cooperative network. A fourth opportunity—DeKalb County's ITB for IT infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center—shows a mismatch with the code's nominal scope and appears unrelated to fresh peony or horticultural procurement.
