UNSPSC 10317806: Fresh cut eriostemon geranium

Fresh cut bloom of the eriostemon variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317806 Fresh cut eriostemon geranium, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. Of four recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one involves fresh cut flowers or ornamental plants; the remainder address educational supplies, IT infrastructure, and unrelated services. The single relevant solicitation—Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets for the town site—requires a contractor holding a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license to supply plant material, maintain plants to specified designs and quality standards, manage drip irrigation, and return baskets by December 1 each year. The scope encompasses up to 144 hanging baskets across multiple streets, with the contractor responsible for all plant material and replacements within ten days of installation at no cost to the County. Evaluation emphasizes qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points), with a multi-year contract term of up to seven years and pricing required for each potential year.

Recent activity is limited to New Mexico; Los Alamos County posted the RFP on May 7, 2026 with a June 4, 2026 due date and a July 14, 2026 estimated award date. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for plants on January 28, 2026 due February 3, 2026, but the posted scope reflects generic plant procurement rather than fresh cut eriostemon geranium. Los Alamos County offers local business, resident business, Native American resident business, and resident veteran business preferences under county code and New Mexico statute; vendors must hold valid state-issued preference certificates and, for local preference, maintain a current business license with principal office in Los Alamos County. The code shows sparse recent state and local activity; the majority of opportunities tagged to it appear misclassified or address unrelated commodities.
