UNSPSC 10317925: Fresh cut evansiae hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the evansiae variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317925 Fresh cut evansiae hippeastrum, a Commodity code, encompasses ornamental plants and flowers procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and decorative display projects. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a mix of actual horticultural work—flower baskets for municipal streetscaping, plant procurement for city facilities—alongside unrelated IT infrastructure solicitations, indicating inconsistent or mislabeled coding in state and local procurement systems. The buying entities include municipalities (City of Dallas, Los Alamos County), counties (DeKalb County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), reflecting a diversity of issuing bodies. Actual plant-related work under this code involves design and maintenance contracts, supply agreements for new plants and botanical material, and multi-year hanging basket programs requiring licensed nursery dealers and horticultural expertise.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County issued 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 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time; the contract runs up to seven years and carries New Mexico local-business and resident-veteran preferences under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026 for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened stock FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, Texas. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited catalog discount bids on educational supplies under EDACT2628, with an estimated expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years (August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028) and a July 30, 2026 deadline, though this solicitation appears mislabeled under the hippeastrum code and does not reflect actual plant procurement. The code sees modest but dispersed activity; mislabeling suggests a need to verify scope alignment before bidding.
