UNSPSC 10317928: Fresh cut fosteri hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the fosteri variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317928 Fresh cut fosteri hippeastrum is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicit under for ornamental plant procurement, though recent activity shows substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific cut-flower cultivar) and the actual work being bought. The recent opportunities posted under this code include educational supplies catalog bidding, tennis center reconstruction with IT infrastructure, street-site hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases — only the last two genuinely align with horticultural procurement. State and local buyers using this code span education service centers, counties, and cities. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (an education service center) posted a major cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational activities and supplies; DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction; Los Alamos County, New Mexico posted an RFP for multi-year hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance; and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plant purchases.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico with no clear concentration. The most relevant recent opportunity for ornamental horticulture is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets across town streets over a potential seven-year term, requiring vendors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and submit cost proposals for each year with weighted evaluation on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points); the county offers local, resident, and Native American resident preferences. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation 215260 (due February 3, 2026) for plant purchases specified new, unopened plants FOB Dallas with a one-year warranty. The code shows modest recent activity and substantial tagging inconsistency — the education services and IT infrastructure solicitations appear misaligned with horticultural procurement.
