UNSPSC 10317105: Fresh cut orange sweet pea

Fresh cut bloom of the orange variety of sweet pea flowers

UNSPSC 10317105 Fresh cut orange sweet pea (Commodity) covers ornamental flowering plants supplied to state and local government for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance at public facilities and parks. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows a mismatch between the commodity's nominal scope and actual government procurement: opportunities posted in the recent window include a regional education cooperative's broad catalog discount vehicle for educational supplies, a county's IT infrastructure reconstruction project, a county parks department's hanging flower baskets design and maintenance contract, and a city's general plant purchase. Only the Los Alamos County hanging flower baskets RFP and the Dallas plant purchase IFB involve horticulture work directly relevant to the code's name; the other two opportunities are unrelated to fresh cut flowers or sweet peas. State and local procurement under this commodity appears limited and fragmented across jurisdictional buyers—counties, cities, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles—rather than dominated by repeat procurement patterns. When fresh cut flowers do appear, the work spans both supply (Dallas purchase of plants) and turnkey services (Los Alamos design, installation, and maintenance of baskets).

Geographic activity in the recent window centers on Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative and Dallas) and the Southwest (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), with isolated opportunities rather than sustained regional volume. The Los Alamos County RFP2655 for Hanging Flower Baskets, due June 4, 2026, sought multi-year design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets across town streets, with bidders required to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points); the contract contemplates a seven-year term with local, resident, and Native American veteran business preferences available. The City of Dallas IFSPKRB2300020, due February 3, 2026, was a straightforward informal solicitation for new, unopened plants delivered FOB to a specified address with lowest responsive and responsible vendor selection. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, was a broad catalog discount cooperative vehicle with $40.677 billion estimated expenditures over two years (August 2026–August 2028), not a fresh cut flower–specific opportunity. Recent activity under this code is sparse and does not support consistent government procurement demand for fresh cut orange sweet peas as a primary or secondary commodity.
