UNSPSC 10317824: Fresh cut versicolor geranium

Fresh cut bloom of the versicolor variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10317824 Fresh cut versicolor geranium, a Commodity code, captures ornamental cut flowers and flowering plants that state and local governments procure for parks, civic landscaping, and facility beautification. The recent opportunities show that public entities buy fresh cut and potted flowering plants—including geraniums, hanging flower baskets, and mixed ornamental stock—through both one-off plant purchases and multi-year landscape maintenance contracts. Issuing bodies include municipal parks and recreation divisions, county governments, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work ranges from simple supply purchases of fresh cut stock delivered to a specified location to turnkey design, installation, and seasonal maintenance of public landscape installations, often with performance standards tied to plant health and aesthetic quality.

Activity under the code spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico. Recent representative opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets distributed across the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 percent), design and maintenance solution (35 percent), references (10 percent), and cost (20 percent); the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for a purchase of plants with delivery to a Dallas facility and bids due February 3, 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid serving multiple Texas school districts and entities, with an estimated two-year total expenditure of $40.677 billion and proposals due July 30, 2026. Los Alamos County imposes local and New Mexico resident business preferences under County Code and state statute; vendors must hold a valid nursery dealer license for multi-year landscape contracts and may be required to carry insurance and comply with non-discrimination provisions depending on contract size.
