UNSPSC 10317204: Fresh cut eryngium blue bell thistle

Fresh cut bloom of the eryngium blue bell variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10317204 Fresh cut eryngium blue bell thistle is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental flowers; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little actual procurement of cut flowers and instead reflect broader horticultural and landscaping services. The code appears in solicitations spanning educational supply catalogs, municipal park landscaping, and general plant procurement, suggesting either a misclassification issue or a catch-all application at the state and local level. Issuing bodies include school district cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), county parks departments (Los Alamos County), and city procurement offices (City of Dallas), with the cooperative vehicle driving the largest estimated expenditure. The work actually being solicited comprises hanging flower basket design, installation and multi-year maintenance services; general plant purchases for municipal use; and catalog discount agreements on educational and landscape supplies.

Recent opportunities geographically span Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 (due June 4, 2026) solicited design, installation, and seasonal maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident-business preferences. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) for general plant purchases FOB delivery to a municipal facility. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 (due July 30, 2026) is a multi-year catalog discount vehicle estimated at $40.677 billion in total expenditures across its two-year term, serving multiple school districts and cooperative members. The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly matching fresh-cut eryngium procurement; activity instead concentrates on landscape services, horticultural supplies, and educational product catalogs, suggesting that vendors should track actual buying patterns rather than the nominal code classification.
