UNSPSC 10322901: Fresh cut orange calendula

Fresh cut bloom of orange variety of calendulas

UNSPSC 10322901 Fresh cut orange calendula, a Commodity code, represents ornamental flowering plants for landscaping and beautification work procured by state and local governments. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show a mismatch between the nominal scope—fresh cut orange calendula specifically—and the actual purchasing activity. State and local buyers are soliciting hanging flower baskets (requiring maintenance and seasonal installation), general plant material for parks and recreation sites, educational activity supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and IT infrastructure work, none of which directly map to fresh cut orange calendula as a standalone product. The issuing bodies include county parks divisions, city procurement offices, school district cooperatives, and county government departments. Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have posted recent plant-related solicitations; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) manages a large cooperative catalog discount vehicle for school districts; and DeKalb County, Georgia posted unrelated IT infrastructure work.

Recent opportunities show little relevant activity under this Commodity code's stated scope. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance due June 4, 2026, requiring contractors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and proposing pricing for up to seven contract years with preference eligibility for Local Business, Resident Business, Native American Resident Business, and Veteran classifications. The City of Dallas posted Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened items in original packaging delivered FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, with a one-year warranty from acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative released EDACT2628, a cooperative catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years; however, this opportunity spans broad educational supplies rather than fresh cut flowers specifically. The code shows minimal market activity aligned to its nominal commodity definition.
