UNSPSC 10332053: Fresh cut swan pompon chrysanthemum

Fresh cut bloom of the swan variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10332053 Fresh cut swan pompon chrysanthemum, a Commodity code, describes ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping, public grounds maintenance, and seasonal plantings. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code show little direct alignment with the nominal product scope. The single relevant solicitation—Los Alamos County, New Mexico's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets—involves design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of containerized plantings across town-site streetscapes, with the contractor supplying plant material, irrigation monitoring, and seasonal replacements under a multi-year agreement. The remaining three opportunities (Fulton County landscape maintenance for demonstration gardens, Hillsborough County Schools landscape and irrigation services, and a Texas education cooperative's educational supplies catalog) are miscoded and address broader grounds management, irrigation infrastructure, and non-horticultural supplies rather than fresh-cut or living ornamental flowers. This code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly related to fresh-cut pompon chrysanthemums or similar cut-flower commodities.

Los Alamos County's RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, is the only recent opportunity with concrete relevance to ornamental flowering plants. The procurement encompasses up to 144 hanging baskets for Central Avenue and side streets, requiring a vendor holding a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license to supply plant material, design installations to specifications, maintain plants throughout the growing season, and manage drip irrigation systems on street light poles. Evaluation weighs qualifications and experience at 35 points, design and maintenance solution at 35 points, cost at 20 points, and references at 10 points. The County offers local, resident, and Native American veteran business preferences under New Mexico statutes when vendors hold valid preference certificates. No dollar value or awarded vendor is disclosed. The broader landscape-services opportunities under this code represent portfolio mislabeling and do not reflect active procurement of fresh-cut or containerized flowering plants.
