UNSPSC 10318001: Fresh cut alpicola rudbeckia

Fresh cut bloom of the alpicola variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10318001 Fresh cut alpicola rudbeckia (Commodity) covers ornamental flowering plants supplied to state and local government entities, though recent solicitation activity tagged to this code shows substantial divergence from the nominal scope. Of the four recent opportunities in the record, only one directly aligns with fresh cut flowers or plant material — the Los Alamos County RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets. The others span educational supplies procurement (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog discount bid), IT and low voltage infrastructure for a recreation facility reconstruction (DeKalb County), and a general plant purchase by the City of Dallas with no specification of plant type or fresh-cut designation. Issuing bodies include school districts operating through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, county governments, and city procurement offices. The code appears to draw mixed tagging across floriculture, horticulture services, and unrelated facility infrastructure work.

Geographically, recent activity is concentrated in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving education service center districts, City of Dallas) and extends to Georgia (DeKalb County) and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). The most directly relevant recent solicitation is Los Alamos County's RFP2655 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, which specifies up to 144 baskets for town site streets, requires contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, and evaluates on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), with awards expected July 14, 2026 and local and resident business preferences available under county code. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for plant purchase with a February 3, 2026 deadline, requiring new unopened items FOB delivery to Dallas with a one-year warranty and no federal or state sales tax liability. This code shows limited recent volume under its nominal scope and significant mis-tagging of unrelated facility and supply work.
