UNSPSC 10317950: Fresh cut oconoquense hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the oconoquense variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317950 Fresh cut oconoquense hippeastrum is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants, particularly cut and potted varieties for landscape and grounds beautification use by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations show that governments buy these plants primarily for streetscape and parks enhancement, including hanging baskets, landscape installation, and seasonal plantings, as well as general horticultural supplies for municipal grounds maintenance. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, municipal cities, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing agreements on behalf of school districts. The work ranges from single-item plant purchases to multi-year design, installation, and maintenance contracts requiring licensed nursery operators.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, due June 4, 2026, requiring offerors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local, resident, and Native American business preferences under County Code and state statute. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened items delivered FOB to a Dallas address with one-year warranty coverage. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted solicitation EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026 for catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies, with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term ending August 20, 2028 and proposals due July 30, 2026. DeKalb County, Georgia also posted an ITB on June 9, 2026, though its scope focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure for tennis center reconstruction and is unrelated to this code's plant-procurement scope.
