UNSPSC 10317203: Fresh cut eryngium arabian dream thistle

Fresh cut bloom of the eryngium arabian dream variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10317203 Fresh cut eryngium arabian dream thistle is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single plant species. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little direct alignment with the purchase of fresh cut eryngium; instead, the tagged solicitations span landscape maintenance services, landscape and irrigation installation and repair, educational activities and supplies, IT infrastructure, and hanging flower basket design and maintenance. The code appears to capture a narrow horticultural input rather than reflect the actual scope of landscape and grounds work state and local governments are procuring today. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county governments (Fulton County and DeKalb County, Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas), and special-purpose districts. The primary landscape-focused opportunities—Fulton County's South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden and Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance and repair solicitations—call for comprehensive grounds management, native plantings, pollinator and rain gardens, irrigation systems, and seasonal color installation rather than specialty cut flowers.

The most recent activity appears in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB (26ITB1652296A-KM) on October 16, 2026 for landscape maintenance of a 0.95-acre demonstration garden with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and services including selective pruning, mulch application, irrigation maintenance, and integrated pest management through December 31, 2027 with optional renewals. Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida issued an ITB (26246ITBMST) posted September 28, 2026 calling for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across all HCPS facilities, with preference programs for small business and certified minority-owned enterprises. Los Alamos County, New Mexico released an RFP (RFP26-55) posted May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town site streets, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award expected July 14, 2026; the County offers local, state resident, and Native American business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and New Mexico Statutes Section 13-1-21. The code's nominal scope does not align well with current procurement activity; vendors should evaluate whether this classification is accurate before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
