UNSPSC 10321703: Fresh cut red astilbe

Fresh cut bloom of red variety of astilbes

UNSPSC 10321703 Fresh cut red astilbe is a Commodity code that maps to floral and horticultural supply procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation for fresh cut astilbe specifically. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a broader landscape of floriculture, plant material, and ornamental horticulture spending: Los Alamos County (New Mexico) is procuring design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of hanging flower baskets across municipal streetscapes; the City of Dallas is purchasing plants (species unspecified in available records) for delivery to a municipal facility; and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is managing a two-year educational supplies and activities catalog discount agreement serving school districts. The issuing bodies span municipal parks and recreation departments, city procurement offices managing facilities operations, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles for school districts. Actual procurement under the code appears driven by municipal beautification and streetscape maintenance spending rather than volume retail floral sales.

Geographic activity centers in Texas, which accounts for two of the four recent opportunities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative and the City of Dallas), with New Mexico (Los Alamos County) representing a secondary market. The most decision-relevant recent opportunity is Los Alamos County's RFP 2655, issued May 7, 2026, for hanging flower baskets and multi-year maintenance services, proposals due June 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with a contract award date estimated July 14, 2026; the County applies local and resident business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21, requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, and contemplates a seven-year contract term with pricing submissions required for each year. The City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260, posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026, calls for new, unopened plant material FOB to a municipal address with a one-year warranty and no alternatives accepted. The Region 7 catalog discount vehicle (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) spans educational products broadly and shows estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years, indicating this is a mature cooperative vehicle with 136 previous awards, though the direct relevance to fresh cut astilbe is unclear from available records.
