UNSPSC 10202111: Live cartagena rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the cartagena variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202111 Live cartagena rose bush is a Commodity code nominally targeting ornamental rose plants, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the category name. Of three recent solicitations tagged to the code, only one — the City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products — involves live plants at all, and that opportunity encompasses a broad range of landscaping material including annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees, not cartagena roses specifically. The Pasco County median landscape and irrigation construction project (IFBKM27004) involves planting work but is primarily a construction and site-work RFQ, not a plant procurement. A third opportunity, DeKalb County's IT infrastructure reconstruction for a tennis center, appears unrelated to the code's stated scope and likely represents a tagging error. The code shows little relevant recent activity for rose bush procurement itself.

The two substantively relevant opportunities cluster in Florida. The Altamonte Springs ITB, due July 29, 2026, is structured as an as-needed, when-needed contract with no guaranteed purchase quantities, awarded by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder with the option to renew for up to five years total. The Pasco County median landscape work (IFB due October 6, 2026) involves approximately 9 miles of Little Road landscaping and irrigation installation. Both solicitations come from local municipalities rather than state departments or special districts, and neither names the code as a primary vehicle for rose-specific procurement. The code appears underutilized or misapplied for its stated commodity purpose in current state and local procurement.
