UNSPSC 10331500: Fresh cut button chrysanthemums

Fresh cut blooms of the button chrysanthemums

UNSPSC 10331500 Fresh cut button chrysanthemums is a Class code covering ornamental flowering plants and horticultural materials purchased by state and local jurisdictions, though recent activity under this code does not reflect direct procurement of fresh cut chrysanthemums. Instead, the code appears tagged to landscape maintenance and installation solicitations where flowering plants—including seasonal color changes and planted displays—are components of broader facility beautification and grounds management. Issuing bodies soliciting under related landscape work span county parks and recreation departments, school districts, and municipal procurement offices. The actual buying activity involves labor-intensive landscape services: quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, seasonal planting rotations in designated garden beds and planters, integrated pest management, irrigation system operation, and site walkthroughs with inventory planning. Material components include pine straw, hardwood mulch, and replacement plantings to sustain ornamental displays and specialty gardens.

Recent opportunities in Georgia and Florida dominate the visible activity. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services (26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026), specifying seasonal plant color changes in two garden beds and two large urn planters as part of quarterly maintenance; the contract runs through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals and requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services under ITB 26246ITBMST with a due date of August 5, 2026; the scope encompasses all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for landscape work across HCPS facilities and encourages small business and minority-owned business participation. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site (due June 4, 2026), requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and design solution (70 points combined) over cost (20 points). The code shows limited standalone activity for fresh cut chrysanthemums as a discrete commodity; procurement officers should confirm whether this code assignment reflects actual horticultural supply lines or represents a classification mismatch in state and local systems.
