UNSPSC 10318002: Fresh cut amplexicaulis rudbeckia

Fresh cut bloom of the amplexicaulis variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10318002 Fresh cut amplexicaulis rudbeckia is a Commodity code that covers fresh-cut flowering plants for landscape and municipal beautification applications. State and local governments use this code to procure cut flowers and decorative plant materials for public spaces, parks, civic landscaping projects, and seasonal installations. The recent solicitation activity shows a mix of school districts, county parks departments, and municipal governments acquiring plant materials through both cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct procurement. Issuing bodies range from regional education service centers managing multi-jurisdictional purchasing cooperatives to county parks divisions and city horticulture departments handling localized beautification contracts. The scope of work encompasses supply of fresh-cut plant materials meeting specified design and quality standards, with contractors often responsible for installation, ongoing maintenance, plant replacement guarantees, and coordination with municipal infrastructure.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico. Los Alamos County issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 (proposals due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design (35 points each), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); the County applies local, resident, and Native American business preferences under state law. The City of Dallas solicited plant purchases under IFS 215260 (due February 3, 2026), requiring new, unopened stock FOB delivery to a specified address with a one-year warranty. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted an education-focused catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) covering educational supplies on a statewide cooperative vehicle, though this opportunity appears misaligned with fresh-cut florals and reflects broader educational-commodity procurement rather than horticultural services. The DeKalb County, Georgia ITB 2026-076 (due July 13, 2026) concerns IT infrastructure for tennis-center reconstruction and is similarly unrelated to the code's florals scope. Activity concentration in Texas and New Mexico suggests regional municipal and county procurement, with limited visibility into school-district or transit-authority activity under this specific commodity.
