UNSPSC 10317908: Fresh cut aulicum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the aulicum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317908 Fresh cut aulicum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that describes ornamental flowering plants — specifically amaryllis flowers — purchased by state and local governments for landscape beautification, public grounds maintenance, and horticultural programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code to procure live flowering plants for parks, street medians, municipal flower baskets, and similar public spaces. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: county parks and recreation divisions, municipal procurement offices, and regional education cooperative purchasing vehicles. While the code's name refers to a single botanical species, state and local procurement offices apply it broadly to fresh cut flowering plants and potted specimens used in public beautification projects.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the South and Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and estimated award on July 14, 2026; the County applies local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under New Mexico statutes. The City of Dallas, Texas solicited bids for plant purchases under IFS 215260 in January 2026 with a February 3, 2026 due date, requiring delivery to a single location with FOB freight included. A much larger cooperative vehicle, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (an education service center serving Texas school districts), posted catalog discount bid solicitation EDACT2628 in June 2026 with proposals due July 30, 2026 and an estimated $40.677 billion total contract value over two years, though the scope spans broad educational supplies rather than ornamental plants specifically. The geographic footprint is limited; recent opportunities center on Texas and New Mexico with no posted activity reported in other states during the period shown.
