UNSPSC 10317971: Fresh cut vittatum hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the vittatum variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317971 Fresh cut vittatum hippeastrum is a Commodity code that describes cut flowers — specifically a variety of amaryllis — purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, civic beautification, and horticultural programs. The code sees limited activity in recent state and local solicitations; the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader plant and floral procurement rather than the specific vittatum hippeastrum variety alone. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city public works departments, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles for member school districts and entities. The scope of work encompasses supply of cut or potted plant material, installation and ongoing maintenance of plantings in public spaces, and vendor responsibility for plant health and replacement when plants fail to meet specified standards or thresholds.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, with solicitations from the City of Dallas (Informal Solicitation 215260 for plants, due February 3, 2026), Los Alamos County in New Mexico (RFP26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and seven-year maintenance, due June 4, 2026), and DeKalb County in Georgia (ITB 2026-076-ITB, posted June 9, 2026, though this appears mislabeled and involves IT infrastructure rather than floral procurement). The most directly relevant recent opportunity is Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower baskets and maintenance, which requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, plant material supply, installation by May 15 annually, ten-day warranty on plantings with vendor-funded replacements, and multi-year pricing through a potential seven-year contract term; Los Alamos County offers local and resident business preferences under county code and New Mexico statute, with preference certificates required. The City of Dallas IFS requires new, unopened plants in original packaging delivered FOB to a specified Dallas address, with one-year warranty and vendor compliance with conflict-of-interest and non-discrimination requirements under city code.
