UNSPSC 10326039: Fresh cut helianthus

Fresh cut bloom of helianthus flowers

UNSPSC 10326039 Fresh cut helianthus (Commodity) covers the supply of cut sunflower flowers and related floral materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping, public event decoration, and horticultural programs. Recent solicitations under this code show that public buyers—primarily county parks departments, city beautification programs, and education service centers—purchase fresh cut flowers as components of broader landscape maintenance, grounds beautification, and educational supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The work involves supplying fresh, high-quality cut flowers that meet specified design standards and delivery timelines, often bundled within multi-year service agreements that include planting, installation, and seasonal maintenance obligations.

State and local activity under this code concentrates in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County, New Mexico solicited an RFP (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the Los Alamos town site, requiring contractors to hold a valid nursery dealer license and deliver plant material by May 15 each year; the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) for plants with delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, Texas. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion in total expenditures over the two-year contract term, though this opportunity's tagline to fresh cut helianthus appears incidental to its broader scope. Recent solicitations indicate that jurisdictions evaluate vendors primarily on qualifications and horticultural experience, maintenance capability, design quality, and cost, with some local preference programs in effect (Los Alamos County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences).
