UNSPSC 10317906: Fresh cut arboricola hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the arboricola variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317906 Fresh cut arboricola hippeastrum, a Commodity code, encompasses ornamental flowering plants and cut flowers that state and local governments purchase for landscaping, public grounds beautification, and horticultural programs. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties procuring fresh cut flowers and potted plants for parks, civic centers, and public spaces, typically through small informal bids or catalog cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county parks and recreation divisions, and regional education service cooperatives that aggregate purchasing for multiple member entities. Work ranges from one-time plant purchases for landscaping projects to multi-year maintenance contracts requiring nursery licensure, irrigation system management, and seasonal design specifications.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County posted RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award targeted for July 14, 2026—the solicitation emphasizes New Mexico resident, local business, and veteran preferences under state and county code. The City of Dallas released an Informal Solicitation (IFS) on January 28, 2026 for plants with a due date of February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock priced FOB to Dallas with a one-year warranty on acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) on June 15, 2026 for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, representing a two-year cooperative vehicle with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion and 136 previous awards. These opportunities signal steady municipal and county demand for cut flowers, landscape plants, and related horticultural services, particularly where state-level set-asides and local-vendor preferences apply.
