UNSPSC 10316801: Fresh cut blue statice

Fresh cut bloom of the blue variety of statices

UNSPSC 10316801 Fresh cut blue statice is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants and cut flowers supplied to state and local government entities, but recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement of fresh cut blue statice specifically. Instead, the code has been tagged on broader purchasing agreements for educational supplies and plant materials that do not align with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments do procure ornamental plants, flowers, and landscaping materials through their parks, recreation, facilities, and grounds-maintenance programs, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect either catalog-discount cooperative purchasing vehicles for general educational supplies or IT infrastructure work that is unrelated to the commodity itself. The issuing bodies in the recent activity include regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and city procurement offices.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, and beyond, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code show limited concentration. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a broad educational supplies discount catalog bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its network; Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued an RFP for hanging flower baskets and maintenance services (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026); and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plants with a February 3, 2026 response date. The mismatch between the code's name and actual procurement solicited suggests that the code is either overused as a tag for general horticultural and landscaping work or that recent state and local procurement activity under this specific commodity is limited. Vendors pursuing ornamental plant and cut-flower contracts should monitor county parks departments, municipal grounds-maintenance RFPs, and landscaping service procurements directly rather than relying on this code's recent activity to surface relevant opportunities.
