UNSPSC 10332044: Fresh cut shock pompon chrysanthemum

Fresh cut bloom of the shock variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10332044 Fresh cut shock pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally identifies cut flower products, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with ornamental flower procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect landscape maintenance and installation services, educational supply catalogs, and IT infrastructure work—scopes that fall outside fresh flower retail or wholesale distribution. The Fulton County, Georgia opportunity (ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026) centers on quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens including selective pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, and seasonal plant color changes across a 0.95-acre demonstration site, with landscape architecture licensure and water-efficient landscaping expertise required. The Hillsborough County Public Schools opportunity (ITB 26246ITBMST, due August 5, 2026) solicits landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across school facilities, encouraging small business and minority-owned business participation. A third opportunity from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) is a cooperative purchasing catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies—unrelated to landscape or floral work. The code shows no recent demand from state and local buyers specifically for fresh cut pompon chrysanthemums or similar cut flower products.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas based on the Fulton County and Hillsborough County solicitations and the Texas cooperative purchasing vehicle. Los Alamos County in New Mexico posted an RFP (RFP2655, due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets, which calls for holders of a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and specifies plant material supply and drip irrigation assessment—a scope closer to horticultural services than cut flower commodity procurement. Buyers include county governments, school districts, special-purpose jurisdictions such as regional education service centers, and local municipalities. The code assignment appears inconsistent with actual procurement activity; entities soliciting landscape maintenance and horticultural services are not purchasing fresh cut pompon chrysanthemums as a commodity, and the code's nominal definition does not capture what these issuing bodies are actually buying.
