UNSPSC 10317816: Fresh cut procurrens geranium

Fresh cut bloom of the procurrens variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317816 Fresh cut procurrens geranium is a Commodity code that encompasses flowering plants and related horticultural supplies procured by state and local governments for landscape beautification, seasonal plantings, and grounds maintenance. The recent solicitations reveal a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought: while the code name specifies a single plant variety, state and local buyers are purchasing broad categories of plants and plant-related services, including hanging flower baskets with design and maintenance, general plant stock, and catalog discounts on educational and landscaping supplies. Issuing bodies include Texas education service centers and cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts), county parks and recreation divisions (Los Alamos County), and city government departments (City of Dallas). The code appears to capture general horticultural procurement across multiple jurisdiction types rather than specialty geranium sourcing.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia based on recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include Los Alamos County's RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central Avenue and adjacent streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, weighted evaluation on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), and applicable state and local preferences for New Mexico resident businesses and local Los Alamos businesses; the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (IFS 215260) with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new unopened stock delivered FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, TX 75220; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with proposals due July 30, 2026, supporting multiple school districts across the cooperative's network with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term beginning August 20, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity with mixed relevance to geranium-specific procurement.
