UNSPSC 10326013: Fresh cut cariopteris

Fresh cut bloom of cariopteris flowers

UNSPSC 10326013 Fresh cut cariopteris is a Commodity code that covers ornamental cut flowers and foliage for landscape and horticultural use. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure fresh plant material, hanging flower baskets with live plant installations, and related horticultural supplies for public parks, town centers, and municipal beautification projects. The issuing bodies span counties, cities, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts and other public entities. Los Alamos County in New Mexico has recently solicited design, installation, and maintenance services for hanging flower baskets under RFP26-55, with proposals due June 4, 2026, while the City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plants with a February 3, 2026 response deadline. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, is currently accepting catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with a July 30, 2026 deadline; while the cooperative's scope nominally covers educational products, the sourcing of ornamental plants or fresh-cut flowers under cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts and municipalities remains a secondary channel for this commodity.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and New Mexico, with Los Alamos County and the City of Dallas representing the most concrete solicitations aligned to the fresh-cut and living ornamental-plant scope. The Los Alamos County hanging flower baskets RFP emphasizes multi-year contracts (up to seven years), contractor-supplied plant material, valid nursery dealer licensing, and seasonal installation and maintenance schedules, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solutions (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). Los Alamos County applies local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under county code and New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas procurement targets new, unopened plant material priced FOB delivery to a specified Dallas address, with one-year warranty coverage and firm pricing for thirty days. Geographic concentration is limited; the source provides no evidence of sustained activity across multiple states or broad regional patterns.
