UNSPSC 10318008: Fresh cut graminifolia rudbeckia

Fresh cut bloom of the graminifolia variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10318008 Fresh cut graminifolia rudbeckia is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental plant materials for landscaping and municipal beautification projects. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for flowering plants and horticultural supplies across educational, parks, and municipal operations. School districts and education service centers procure plants and plant-related materials through cooperative purchasing vehicles, while municipal parks and recreation departments source both finished plant products and nursery services. The issuing bodies span education service centers, county parks departments, and city procurement offices, each with distinct sourcing approaches — some seek catalog discount suppliers of generic plant inventory, while others require licensed nursery contractors to design, install, and maintain specific plantings over multi-year terms.

Recent opportunities illustrate the range of work. Los Alamos County posted RFP 26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-center streetscapes, requiring a licensed nursery dealer and plant material supplier with a due date of June 4, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 for plant purchases with delivery to a single location and a one-year warranty; the response deadline was February 3, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 in June 2026 for catalog discount bids on educational supplies with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years and a response deadline of July 30, 2026, though the solicitation description does not confirm that fresh cut flowers or live plant material is a material component of that cooperative's scope. Activity is concentrated in Texas (education cooperatives and Dallas) and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), with a secondary signal from Georgia (DeKalb County), though the DeKalb opportunity addresses tennis center reconstruction and IT infrastructure rather than plant procurement and appears to be miscoded.
