UNSPSC 10317820: Fresh cut sanguineum or bloody geranium

Fresh cut bloom of the sanguineum or bloody variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317820 Fresh cut sanguineum or bloody geranium is a Commodity code that captures fresh ornamental plants and floral materials for landscaping, maintenance, and seasonal decoration purchased by state and local governments. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses both one-time plant purchases for specific projects and ongoing contractual arrangements for the design, installation, and seasonal maintenance of planted installations such as hanging flower baskets and other street-scape enhancements. Issuing bodies include municipalities (the City of Dallas, Los Alamos County), counties (DeKalb County), and education service centers supporting cooperative purchasing across multiple school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The scope reflects direct procurement of fresh plant material, often bundled with installation, maintenance, and landscape management services where contractors must hold relevant licensing (such as a valid nursery dealer license in New Mexico) and comply with quality standards, warranty terms, and seasonal delivery schedules.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for the purchase of plants with a February 3, 2026 response date, requiring FOB delivery to a Dallas location with firm pricing for thirty days and a one-year warranty. Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 for the design, installation, and seven-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and preference programs available for local and New Mexico resident businesses; the pre-proposal conference occurred May 13, 2026 with written questions due May 21, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted cooperative-purchasing catalog discount bids (EDACT2628) on June 15, 2026 with a July 30, 2026 deadline and an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across multiple school districts and cooperative entities. A fourth opportunity, DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for tennis center reconstruction posted June 9, 2026, was tagged under this code but addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than plant materials and appears to be a classification mismatch.
