UNSPSC 10317914: Fresh cut breviflorum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the breviflorum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317914 Fresh cut breviflorum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of cut flower specimens, specifically red hippeastrum (amaryllis) blooms. State and local governments buy these flowers primarily through school district cooperative purchasing vehicles and municipal Parks and Recreation departments for landscaping, public beautification, and seasonal display projects. The issuing bodies span education service centers (like Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), county parks and recreation divisions (Los Alamos County), and city Parks departments (City of Dallas). Scope of work includes supply of cut plant material meeting specified quality standards—typically new, unopened stock in original packaging delivered to designated municipal or educational facilities. Contractors must hold relevant horticultural credentials such as nursery dealer licenses where required by state law and provide installation and maintenance services when part of the broader landscaping contract.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and New Mexico, with solicitations posted between January and June 2026. Los Alamos County issued RFP 26-55 (Hanging Flower Baskets Multi-Year, due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets on town streets, requiring a New Mexico nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through July 2032; the City of Dallas posted IFS 215260 (Purchase of Plants, due February 3, 2026) for new plant material delivered FOB to Dallas facilities; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas released EDACT2628 (Educational Activities & Supplies, due July 30, 2026), a catalog discount bid covering educational products with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards, though the scope appears primarily educational supplies rather than fresh cut flowers and may not represent a core market for this Commodity code. State and local preference programs are available in New Mexico solicitations (local business, resident business, Native American resident, veteran resident classifications) but are not uniformly present across all issuing bodies.
