UNSPSC 10202707: Live candle light rose bush

Live bush including the roots of the candle light variety of rose

UNSPSC 10202707 Live candle light rose bush (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal product — a specific ornamental plant variety — does not match the scope of recent solicitations. The two relevant opportunities posted under this code involve broad-based landscaping plant and product procurement, not live candles or rose bushes specifically. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued ITB 26-085-KY (posted August 24, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, spanning annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups with no guaranteed purchase quantities. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners posted IFB KM27004 (posted September 2, 2026, due October 6, 2026) for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along 9 miles of Little Road, encompassing landscape design, planting, irrigation system installation, and site work. A third opportunity, DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026), concerns IT and low-voltage infrastructure and is unrelated to horticultural products.

The recent activity surfaces Florida as the primary market, with Altamonte Springs and Pasco County both issuing plant and landscaping solicitations. The Altamonte Springs contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031 with renewal options, requires Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Florida Sunbiz registration, and awards by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder based on percentage discounts from published catalog prices plus flat delivery fees. Delivery must reach specified Florida zip codes within 15 to 30 days depending on stock availability. The code's mismatch with solicited scope suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging broad landscaping and horticultural opportunities under a narrow plant-variety code, making this category a poor targeting signal for vendors focused on this specific commodity.
