UNSPSC 10326042: Fresh cut hyacinth with bulb

Fresh cut bloom of hyacinth with bulb flowers

UNSPSC 10326042 Fresh cut hyacinth with bulb (Commodity) covers flowering plants and related horticultural materials that state and local governments procure for landscape beautification, public grounds maintenance, and seasonal displays. Recent solicitations show scope ranging from individual plant purchases to multi-year landscape management contracts requiring design, installation, and ongoing maintenance services. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices, and regional education cooperatives. Los Alamos County, for example, solicited design and seven-year maintenance for up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, while the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plant purchases delivered to a specific municipal facility. The education cooperative EDACT2628 serving Texas school districts reflects broader use of cooperative purchasing vehicles for bulk educational and grounds-maintenance supplies, where horticultural products appear alongside other facility and educational inputs.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest and South, with recent opportunities posted by Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP26-55, proposals due June 4, 2026) and the City of Dallas, Texas (IFS 215260, bids due February 3, 2026). The Los Alamos RFP emphasizes multi-year vendor qualification and maintenance capability, requiring a valid state nursery dealer license and weighted scoring on qualifications (35 points), experience references (10 points), design and maintenance approach (35 points), and cost (20 points), with local and New Mexico resident business preferences available. The Dallas solicitation is transactional and price-driven, accepting lowest responsive and responsible bids for new, unopened plants with FOB delivery and one-year warranty coverage. Cooperative purchasing vehicles like Region 7 in Texas serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, though the EDACT2628 opportunity's scope is too broad to isolate horticultural procurement dollars. The code shows modest but active demand, split between one-time plant purchases and longer-term landscape contracts requiring specialized nursery licensing and design capability.
