UNSPSC 10317936: Fresh cut illustre hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the illustre variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317936 Fresh cut illustre hippeastrum is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the narrow botanical scope of the code name and the actual work being solicited. The opportunities span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, landscape flower basket installation and maintenance, and general plant procurement—none of which align specifically with fresh cut hippeastrum flowers. State and local governments do solicit plant-related services and supplies, but the recent postings under this code suggest either cataloging inconsistency or that the code is being applied broadly to cover general horticultural procurement rather than the specific cut flower species the code name implies. The issuing bodies include an educational service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county parks and recreation division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), a city parks department (City of Dallas, Texas), and a county government IT division (DeKalb County, Georgia), indicating fragmented demand across education, municipal parks, and infrastructure sectors.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with postings from the Texas education cooperative, Dallas, Los Alamos County (New Mexico), and DeKalb County (Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (due July 30, 2026, serving multiple school districts over a two-year term estimated at $40.677 billion in total expenditures), Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes (due June 4, 2026, with a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026, and preference programs available for local and New Mexico resident businesses), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026, FOB delivery to Dallas with a one-year warranty requirement). The code shows recent activity but does not cleanly map to specialized fresh cut hippeastrum procurement.
