UNSPSC 10318209: Fresh cut laxum leucadendron

Fresh cut bloom of the laxum variety of leucadendrons

UNSPSC 10318209 Fresh cut laxum leucadendron, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a specific ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations show the code being applied to broader horticultural and plant procurement that extends well beyond fresh-cut flowers. State and local governments use this code when sourcing plants, hanging flower baskets, plant maintenance services, and general botanical supplies for parks, landscaping, and municipal beautification projects. The issuing bodies include county governments, city procurement offices, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts and municipalities. Work ranges from direct plant purchases—cut flowers, potted plants, and specimen material—to full-service landscape installation and multi-year maintenance contracts requiring vendor expertise in irrigation systems, seasonal design, and replanting. Some solicitations impose licensing requirements; Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP requires vendors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) posted an RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for municipal street lighting poles, due June 4, 2026, with a multi-year contract term spanning up to seven years and evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); the County offers local, state resident, and Native American business preferences under New Mexico statutes. The City of Dallas (Texas) issued an informal solicitation for plant purchases under IFB 215260, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened inventory delivered FOB Dallas with a one-year warranty and lowest responsive bidder award. A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas education service center) solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion serving multiple school districts across the cooperative's network. A separate DeKalb County (Georgia) ITB for tennis center reconstruction posted June 9, 2026 appears mislabeled under this code—the scope is IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, not horticultural procurement.
