UNSPSC 10316506: Fresh cut caucasica white scabiosa

Fresh cut bloom of the caucasica white variety of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10316506 Fresh cut caucasica white scabiosa is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single ornamental flower variety, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with cut-flower procurement. The code appears rarely solicited for its namesake product; instead, the posted opportunities span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases — work that does not map cleanly to fresh cut scabiosa flowers. State and local jurisdictions using this code include a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county parks and recreation division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), a city procurement office (City of Dallas, Texas), and a county infrastructure department (DeKalb County, Georgia). The issuing bodies and their scope diversity suggest the code is either misapplied as a catch-all for horticultural and botanical procurement, or the code assignment reflects upstream catalog tagging rather than accurate commodity classification.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, with Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies catalog bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) representing the largest current opportunity at an estimated $40.677 billion over a two-year term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028, and the City of Dallas's plant purchase solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, already closed) representing a smaller but direct botanical procurement. Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket design and maintenance RFP (RFP2655, due June 4, 2026) includes a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026, and offers local and New Mexico resident business preferences under county code and state statute. The code shows no clear focus on fresh cut scabiosa flowers, and bidders should verify code alignment in addenda or Q&A cycles before investing proposal effort.
