UNSPSC 10317900: Fresh cut hippeastrums

Fresh cut bloom of the hippeastrum type of flower

UNSPSC 10317900 Fresh cut hippeastrums is a Class code that encompasses floriculture products—fresh cut flowers and related planting materials—procured by state and local governments for landscaping, maintenance, and beautification projects. Recent solicitations show the code applies to both wholesale plant procurement and multi-year horticultural services. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for the purchase of plants with a response due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened inventory delivered FOB to Dallas with a one-year warranty; the solicitation imposed no alternatives or substitutes and required all pricing to be firm for thirty days. Los Alamos County issued an RFP on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets (up to 144 units) for the town site, due June 4, 2026, requiring contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and supply plant material to specified design standards. State and local buyers range from municipalities (City of Dallas, Los Alamos County) to county parks departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts.

Recent activity centers in Texas and New Mexico, with a secondary tier of cooperative purchasing agreements serving broader education service center networks. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628) on June 15, 2026 for educational activities and supplies with a response due July 30, 2026, encompassing a two-year contract term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028 with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion and 136 previous awards indicating a renewal cycle. Los Alamos County's RFP emphasizes local and New Mexico resident business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21, with weighted scoring favoring qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points); the estimated contract award date is July 14, 2026 for a potential multi-year term of up to seven years. The Dallas purchase, while simpler in scope and compressed in timeline, applies the same lowest-responsive-and-responsible-vendor standard common to municipal procurement.
