UNSPSC 10316706: Fresh cut light pink snapdragon

Fresh cut bloom of the light pink variety of snapdragons

UNSPSC 10316706 Fresh cut light pink snapdragon is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plants for landscape and horticultural use by state and local public bodies. Recent solicitations show two distinct demand streams: institutional procurement of hanging flower baskets and seasonal plantings for municipal parks, streetscapes, and public facilities, and standalone plant purchases for city landscaping and grounds maintenance. The City of Dallas and Los Alamos County represent the municipal side; Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets across Central Avenue and downtown streetlight poles illustrates the scale and scope—up to 144 baskets across multiple locations, with design, installation, and multi-year maintenance responsibilities. Issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county facilities and open-space divisions, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts. A Texas education service center's Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued EDACT2628, a broad educational supplies cooperative buy estimated at $40.677 billion over two years (August 2026 through August 2028), suggesting that ornamental plants may be bundled into landscape and grounds-maintenance packages for school district properties within the cooperative network.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with recent solicitations posted by the City of Dallas (January 2026, IFS 215260 for plants with February 3, 2026 due date), Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026 with award targeted July 14, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026). Los Alamos County's procurement requires vendors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and emphasizes multi-year contract relationships with performance-based design and maintenance criteria weighted at 35 points, references at 10 points, and cost at 20 points. The County offers local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico law. Dallas's plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) applies a lowest responsive and responsible vendor standard with FOB delivery to a single Dallas address, one-year warranty coverage from acceptance, and strict new/unopened/original-packaging requirements. Neither solicitation discloses specific dollar values.
