UNSPSC 10316502: Fresh cut black scabiosa

Fresh cut bloom of the black variety of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10316502 Fresh cut black scabiosa is a Commodity code representing ornamental flowering plants and floral materials procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments buying fresh cut flowers, potted plants, and flowering plant material for public spaces, parks, and civic facilities. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, and education service centers; Los Alamos County (New Mexico), the City of Dallas (Texas), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) appear in the recent record. The scope of work includes design and installation of hanging flower baskets with ongoing seasonal maintenance, bulk purchase of plant material for municipal landscaping, and catalog discount bidding on educational and horticultural supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

The most recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026, for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with a pre-proposal conference on May 13 and preference programs for local, New Mexico resident, Native American resident, and veteran businesses; the estimated contract award date is July 14, 2026. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026, for purchase of new, unopened plants with FOB delivery to Dallas and a one-year warranty requirement. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicited catalog discount bids under EDACT2628 (posted June 15, 2026, due July 30, 2026) on educational activities and supplies spanning multiple school districts, with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year contract term beginning August 20, 2026. Note that the Region 7 cooperative solicitation appears to be tagged to this code but is primarily an education supplies and materials vehicle; the floral-specific opportunities appear in the county and municipal procurements in New Mexico and Texas.
