UNSPSC 10317972: Fresh cut yungacense hippeastrum

Fresh cut bloom of the yungacense variety of hippeastrum

UNSPSC 10317972 Fresh cut yungacense hippeastrum (Commodity) encompasses ornamental flowering plants sourced through state and local procurement channels, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to broader horticultural and landscape supplies procurement rather than the specific cultivar named in the taxonomy. State and local governments are sourcing plants, hanging flower baskets, design and maintenance services for landscape installations, and bulk educational supplies through this coding. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, municipal public works and facilities departments, city procurement offices, and regional education cooperatives serving school districts. The mix spans mid-sized cities and counties pursuing landscape beautification and grounds maintenance contracts, regional cooperative purchasing vehicles aggregating demand across multiple school districts, and specialized procurement for recreational facilities.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026, proposals due June 4, 2026, and estimated award date of July 14, 2026, with New Mexico resident and local business preferences available. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plants in January 2026 with a February 3, 2026 deadline, specifying new unopened items FOB delivery to a Dallas address. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with proposals due July 30, 2026, and estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over the two-year contract term. A DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026) was tagged under this code but addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than horticultural supplies, suggesting occasional miscoding under the UNSPSC taxonomy.
