UNSPSC 10362401: Fresh cut alizarin vanda orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the alizarin vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10362401 Fresh cut alizarin vanda orchid is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh plant material — primarily ornamental flowers and plants — procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and facilities maintenance. The recent opportunities under this code show a mix of educational and horticultural supply procurement. Los Alamos County in New Mexico is seeking a contractor to design, install, and maintain up to 144 hanging flower baskets across downtown streets under RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing for up to seven years. The City of Dallas is conducting an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for the Purchase of Plants, due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened plant material in original packaging delivered FOB to a specified address. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, is soliciting catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, with an estimated two-year contract value of $40.677 billion serving multiple school districts and entities. The issuing bodies span county parks departments, municipal facilities, school districts, and regional education cooperatives across different procurement structures and evaluation criteria.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico, with the largest opportunity posted by Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas. Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket procurement includes mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026, and imposes New Mexico state and local business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21 for local, resident, Native American, and veteran businesses. The Dallas plant purchase required electronic submission through Bonfire by February 3, 2026, with no specific budget disclosed and evaluation on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis. The Texas education cooperative vehicle serves as a standing source for schools across multiple districts, suggesting recurring demand for plants and supplies through cooperative contracting mechanisms. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction — New Mexico County procurement favors local and resident businesses, while Texas municipal and cooperative purchasing do not indicate active set-asides in the available solicitations.
