UNSPSC 10318011: Fresh cut hirta rudbeckia

Fresh cut bloom of the hirta variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10318011 Fresh cut hirta rudbeckia, a Commodity code, nominally names a single ornamental plant variety but shows little alignment with recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The four recent opportunities posted under or near this code span educational supplies, facility reconstruction, landscaping maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which involve fresh cut rudbeckia specifically. State and local buying under this code appears fragmented across issuing bodies that include a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county parks and recreation department (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), and a municipal purchasing office (City of Dallas, Texas). The scope of work actually being solicited ranges from catalog-discount educational supplies through multi-year hanging flower basket design and maintenance contracts to general plant procurement and facility infrastructure installation, suggesting that the code may be either misapplied to opportunities that do not match its narrow product definition or that state and local procurement systems use it as a catch-all for horticultural and plant-related services.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. The largest by estimated value is Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog-discount solicitation (posted June 15, 2026, due July 30, 2026) with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term, though this appears to be an education-supplies renewal serving multiple school districts rather than a fresh-flower procurement. Los Alamos County's RFP2655 for hanging flower baskets (posted May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026) represents direct plant-and-maintenance procurement under a multi-year contract, requiring a New Mexico nursery dealer license and weighted evaluation of qualifications, references, design, and cost. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 for the purchase of plants (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026), requiring new, unopened plant material FOB delivery to Dallas with a one-year warranty. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026) focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, unrelated to plant procurement.
