UNSPSC 10316408: Fresh cut pink green center ranunculus

Fresh cut bloom of the pink green center variety of ranunculuses

UNSPSC 10316408 Fresh cut pink green center ranunculus, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments buy ornamental cut flowers, plant material, and landscaping supplies under this code, but the recent solicitations tagged to it reflect a significant mismatch: only one opportunity directly addresses fresh florals—Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance contract—while the others span educational product catalogs, IT infrastructure for a tennis facility, and general plant procurement. The issuing bodies include education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), counties (Los Alamos, DeKalb), and cities (Dallas), with cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts. When opportunities do align with fresh florals and landscape material, they typically require vendors to hold nursery dealer licenses and comply with local vendor preferences or DBE/MBE set-asides where applicable.

Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) represents the most relevant recent activity, requiring design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 baskets across town site streets, with proposals evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points); the County applies local business, New Mexico resident business, Native American resident, and veteran preferences under state law. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 (due February 3, 2026) for general plant purchases FOB Dallas, requiring new, unopened, original-packaging stock with a one-year warranty, though this broader plant procurement does not specify the ranunculus variety. A large cooperative purchasing opportunity from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (due July 30, 2026, estimated $40.677 billion over two years) and an unrelated DeKalb County IT infrastructure bid also carry this code, indicating categorization inconsistency across state and local systems. Geographic activity centers on Texas (Dallas, Region 7) and the Southwest (New Mexico), with no concentration evident from four opportunities spanning January through June 2026.
