UNSPSC 10317503: Fresh cut cottage pink yarrow

Fresh cut bloom of the cottage pink variety of yarrows

UNSPSC 10317503 Fresh cut cottage pink yarrow is a Commodity-tier code that encompasses horticultural products and plant materials procured by state and local government entities for landscaping, beautification, and grounds-maintenance projects. Recent activity shows state and local governments buying fresh-cut flowers, live plants, and ornamental botanicals through both standing cooperative purchasing agreements and direct solicitations. Issuing bodies range from education service centers managing statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles to county parks and recreation divisions, municipal public works departments, and city parks bureaus. The code appears to serve straightforward procurement of plant materials for civic and recreational spaces, with vendors typically required to meet specifications for plant quality, delivery condition, and compliance with local licensing or horticultural standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 2026-076 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-center streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and the contractor required to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 for plant purchases with a February 3, 2026 response date, requiring all plants to be new, unopened, and in original packaging with FOB delivery to Dallas. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted EDACT2628 in June 2026, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with a July 30, 2026 deadline serving multiple school districts across the cooperative's network; the estimated two-year contract expenditure is $40.677 billion. Geographic spread appears concentrated in Texas and New Mexico, with scattered activity likely elsewhere. Vendors pursuing this code should anticipate phased procurement cycles tied to seasonal landscaping schedules and cooperative purchasing renewal windows.
