UNSPSC 10317701: Fresh cut forsythia viridissima

Fresh cut bloom of the viridissima variety of forsythia

UNSPSC 10317701 Fresh cut forsythia viridissima is a Commodity code that covers ornamental cut flowers and fresh plant material used in landscaping, beautification, and decorative applications by state and local government. The recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying fresh flowering branches and potted plants for landscape installation and maintenance, public-space decoration, and facility grounds work. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city public works and facilities departments, and regional education cooperatives that serve school districts. The work spans design-and-maintenance contracts for seasonal flower installations, one-time plant purchases for facility grounds, and catalog-discount agreements for educational and institutional supplies that include plant materials.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and the Southwest, with solicitations from Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets design, installation, and multi-year maintenance, due June 4, 2026), the City of Dallas, Texas (Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational supplies including plants, due July 30, 2026). The Los Alamos hanging baskets contract is the most recent and representative—it requires a valid nursery dealer license, encompasses up to 144 baskets with annual design and maintenance delivery by May 15, includes local and state vendor preferences, and spans up to seven years with weighted evaluation on qualifications, references, design, and cost. The cooperative purchasing vehicle in Texas (Region 7) reflects the growing use of multi-buyer procurement agreements that bundle plant and supply purchases across school districts, suggesting contract values and renewal potential that justify investment in relationship building with regional purchasing consortia.
