UNSPSC 10318003: Fresh cut auriculata rudbeckia

Fresh cut bloom of the auriculata variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10318003 Fresh cut auriculata rudbeckia (Commodity) encompasses fresh-cut flowers and ornamental plant material sourced for landscaping, beautification, and grounds-maintenance projects across state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying both cut flowers and living ornamental plants — hanging flower baskets with ongoing maintenance, bulk plant purchases for municipal facilities, and supplies through education-sector cooperative purchasing vehicles. The mix of issuing bodies includes counties, cities, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing networks serving school districts, reflecting how ornamental plant procurement spans multiple government sectors and service lines.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from DeKalb County and the City of Dallas in Georgia and Texas, Los Alamos County in New Mexico, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) dominating the recent opportunity stream. Representative recent work includes Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets (proposals due June 4, 2026, with New Mexico resident and local business preferences available), the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for bulk plant purchases with FOB delivery to a municipal facility (bids due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount bid for educational supplies including plants and flowers serving multiple school districts (proposals due July 30, 2026, with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over the two-year contract term). The range of notice types — RFP, IFB, informal solicitation, and cooperative purchasing bids — indicates the code covers both one-off beautification projects and ongoing supply agreements across multiple customer types.
