UNSPSC 10317801: Fresh cut argenteum geranium

Fresh cut bloom of the argenteum variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317801 Fresh cut argenteum geranium is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single ornamental plant species, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with fresh-cut geraniums specifically. Recent solicitations posted under or near this code encompass a broader range of horticultural and landscaping procurement, including hanging flower baskets with live plant material, general plant purchases for municipal use, and educational supply catalogs that may include decorative or educational plant products. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, cities, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have posted horticultural procurement in this family; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, has solicited broader educational and supply catalogs under a multi-year cooperative purchasing vehicle serving school districts across its network.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include an RFP from Los Alamos County for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) with weighted evaluation on qualifications, references, design and maintenance solutions, and cost, subject to New Mexico local business and resident veteran preferences; an informal solicitation from the City of Dallas for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026) delivered FOB to a Dallas facility with one-year warranty on failed or defective goods; and a multi-year cooperative purchasing invitation from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative for educational activities and supplies with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years (due July 30, 2026). The mismatch between the code's specific name and the scope of recent solicitations suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code as a broader catch-all for horticultural and landscaping materials rather than for fresh-cut geraniums as a distinct commodity line.
