Fresh cut bloom of the maculatum variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317811 Fresh cut maculatum geranium is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants—specifically geraniums and related horticultural materials—supplied to state and local government jurisdictions for landscaping, beautification, and facility maintenance. State and local buyers under this code include municipalities, counties, education service centers, parks and recreation divisions, and regional cooperative purchasing organizations serving school districts. Scope of work ranges from supply of bare plant material to full-service design, installation, and seasonal maintenance of hanging baskets and floral displays on public property. Vendors typically must meet state nursery licensing requirements, provide replacement guarantees for plant failures within specified periods, and coordinate with local specifications for plant quality, irrigation infrastructure, and delivery windows.
