UNSPSC 10331809: Fresh cut reflex disbud chrysanthemum

Fresh cut bloom of the reflex variety of disbud chrysanthemums

UNSPSC 10331809 Fresh cut reflex disbud chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single ornamental flower product, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct purchasing of cut chrysanthemums themselves. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code reveal a substantial mismatch: the opportunities posted involve landscape maintenance services, irrigation system installation and repair, educational supplies, information technology infrastructure, and hanging flower basket design and installation — none of which center on the procurement of fresh cut chrysanthemum flowers as a commodity. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles, and county IT departments, spanning Georgia, Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. When landscape maintenance and floral design work is solicited, it encompasses perennial plantings, seasonal color changes, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and hanging basket installations, but the code's nominal scope — fresh cut reflex disbud chrysanthemums as a packaged product — does not align with what is actually being purchased in these opportunities.

Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services (due November 30, 2026) requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and covering quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens with seasonal plant color changes; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued an ITB for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services (due August 5, 2026) with multiple compliance affidavits and encouragement for small business and minority-owned business participation; and Los Alamos County, New Mexico solicited an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) with weighted evaluation on qualifications, references, design, and cost, offering local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences. The code appears to see little relevant recent activity in its actual commodity scope; vendors evaluating opportunities under 10331809 should verify with purchasing offices whether fresh cut chrysanthemum orders are being issued separately or whether the code is being used as a catch-all for broader horticultural and landscape services.
