UNSPSC 10317913: Fresh cut brasilianum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the brasilianum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317913 Fresh cut brasilianum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of cut ornamental flowers, specifically hippeastrum varieties, for municipal landscaping, parks, and public facility beautification projects. State and local governments purchase these plants through a mix of issuing bodies including municipal parks and recreation departments, counties, and education service cooperatives that coordinate purchases across multiple entities within their networks. The scope of work centers on supplying fresh-cut flowers meeting quality specifications for installation in public spaces, with vendors typically required to hold nursery dealer licenses and provide installation and maintenance services alongside plant material delivery.

Recent activity shows procurement spread across the Southwest and Southeast, with notable solicitations from Los Alamos County in New Mexico (RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets requiring up to 144 units with multi-year maintenance, proposals due June 4, 2026), the City of Dallas in Texas (IFS 215260 for plant purchase, bids due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (EDACT2628 for educational activities and supplies including plants, due July 30, 2026, with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years). Los Alamos County's RFP illustrates the full scope: contractors must supply plant material, install baskets by May 15 annually, maintain drip irrigation systems, hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, and accept responsibility for replacing failed plants within ten days at no cost to the County. The Los Alamos County solicitation applies local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico Code Section 13-1-21 and County Code Section 31-261(b), requiring valid preference certificates and a current business license with principal office in Los Alamos County. Pre-proposal conference occurred May 13, 2026, with written questions due May 21, 2026, and estimated contract award July 14, 2026.
