UNSPSC 10317403: Fresh cut chinchilla waxflower

Fresh cut bloom of the chinchilla variety of waxflowers

UNSPSC 10317403 Fresh cut chinchilla waxflower is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of the state and local procurement taxonomy for ornamental plant materials. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the specific product named — chinchilla waxflower, a fresh-cut flowering stem — and instead reflect broader landscaping, plant supply, and educational materials procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying general plant material (hanging flower baskets with annual design and maintenance, individual potted plants for city operations), educational supplies and activities through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and ancillary facility work. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, city procurement offices, and regional education service centers acting as cooperative purchasing intermediaries on behalf of school districts and other member entities.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (the dominant state, with Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts and the City of Dallas), New Mexico (Los Alamos County), and Georgia (DeKalb County). Representative recent opportunities include the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies, posted June 15, 2026 with proposals due July 30, 2026, covering a two-year contract term estimated at $40.677 billion; Los Alamos County's RFP2655 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central Avenue and neighboring streets, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local, resident, and Native American business preferences; and the City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for purchase of plants, posted January 28, 2026 with bids due February 3, 2026, specifying new, unopened product in original packaging with FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road. A secondary opportunity, DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at the DeKalb Tennis Center, appears to have been mistagged under this code and does not reflect ornamental plant procurement.
