UNSPSC 10317400: Fresh cut waxflowers

Fresh cut blooms of waxflowers

UNSPSC 10317400 Fresh cut waxflowers is a Class code that encompasses ornamental plant procurement for public facilities and open spaces, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show substantial scope drift toward general educational supplies, IT infrastructure, and broader landscaping services rather than waxflowers specifically. The issuing bodies include regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts, county government departments, and cities; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (an education service center) manages a major multi-year cooperative vehicle for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion total expenditure across its two-year contract term. Municipal parks and recreation divisions also solicit under the code—Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division and the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department both posted opportunities for plant procurement in the recent period. The scope of work actually being bought includes hanging flower baskets with multi-year design and maintenance service (Los Alamos County), fresh plants for municipal facilities (Dallas), and catalog discount educational supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), but also encompasses unrelated IT and low voltage infrastructure work (DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and South: Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP for hanging flower baskets with proposals due June 4, 2026), the City of Dallas, Texas (informal solicitation for plants, due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (catalog discount bid for educational supplies, due July 30, 2026). DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction with a July 13, 2026 bid deadline, though this opportunity appears unrelated to the waxflower or horticultural scope of the code. The Los Alamos RFP requires vendors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, offers local, resident, and Native American business preferences, and contemplates a multi-year award of up to seven years. Region 7's cooperative vehicle notes 136 previous awards, indicating renewal of an established procurement stream serving multiple school districts within the region.
