Fresh cut blooms of costuses

UNSPSC 10323300 Fresh cut costuses is a Class code that captures state and local government procurement of ornamental plants and floral products for public facilities, streetscapes, and institutional grounds. Recent solicitations show activity centered on hanging flower baskets, flowering plants for landscaping and beautification projects, and bulk plant purchases for public buildings and parks. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. Los Alamos County in New Mexico, the City of Dallas in Texas, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas have posted opportunities under or near this code in recent months, indicating demand from municipalities and regional education cooperatives for both one-time plant purchases and multi-year installation and maintenance contracts.

Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026, for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award estimated for July 14, 2026; the procurement includes local and resident-preference opportunities under New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026, for plant purchases with delivery to a municipal address and bids due February 3, 2026, requiring all products to be new, unopened, and in original packaging with FOB delivery pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico, with opportunities spanning municipalities, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts.
