UNSPSC 10316501: Fresh cut annual scabiosa

Fresh cut bloom of the annual variety of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10316501 Fresh cut annual scabiosa is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not match the code's nominal scope. The source records four recent solicitations: a Texas education service center seeking catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies; a Georgia county requesting bids for IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center; a New Mexico county seeking design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets; and a Dallas city procurement for general plants with no species specification. Only the New Mexico and Dallas opportunities involve flowers or plants; the Texas and Georgia solicitations are unrelated to scabiosa or fresh-cut florals. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or that the taxonomy assignment does not reflect actual commodity family procurement practice at these issuing bodies.

The geographic spread of the relevant plant-related opportunities spans Texas (Dallas), New Mexico (Los Alamos County), and Georgia (DeKalb County), though the Georgia record addresses infrastructure rather than horticulture. Los Alamos County issued an RFP for hanging flower baskets with a response deadline of June 4, 2026, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through seven contract years, with preference programs for local and New Mexico resident businesses available. The Dallas procurement, an informal solicitation with a February 3, 2026 deadline, bought unspecified plants on FOB terms to a single delivery address with a one-year warranty requirement. The code shows little relevant recent activity for fresh-cut scabiosa specifically; state and local procurement under this code appears sparse or mislabeled.
