UNSPSC 10360000: Fresh cut orchids

Fresh cut blooms of orchids

UNSPSC 10360000 Fresh cut orchids is a Family code that encompasses the procurement of live flowering plants and horticultural materials for municipal beautification, landscaping, and institutional supply. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying fresh cut flowers, potted plants, hanging baskets with live plantings, and related plant material for parks, streetscapes, and general facility use. The issuing bodies include cities (Dallas, Los Angeles), counties (Los Alamos, DeKalb), and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Cooperative purchasing structures dominate the activity — Region 7's catalog-discount solicitation serves multiple school districts and entities across its network, indicating that plant procurement often flows through aggregated purchasing rather than individual agency RFPs.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in the Southwest and Texas. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, due June 4, 2026, with preference programs for local and New Mexico resident businesses. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) in January 2026 for the purchase of plants delivered to a specific municipal address, due February 3, 2026, with no substitutes accepted and a one-year warranty required. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026, a catalog-discount bid covering educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion and a July 30, 2026 proposal deadline. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in municipal parks and grounds maintenance, with contract values typically embedded in broader landscape or facility supply agreements rather than disclosed as standalone plant-procurement budgets.
