UNSPSC 10241502: Live single bloom burgundy carnation

Live plant including the root ball of the burgundy variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10241502 Live single bloom burgundy carnation is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no activity purchasing carnations or florals of any kind. Instead, the posted solicitations span landscape and environmental restoration work—dune stabilization plantings, roadside median irrigation and landscaping installation, invasive species removal paired with native plant installation, and generic plant procurement. The code appears misaligned with the actual work being solicited. State and local governments are using this code to tag a broad range of horticultural and landscape services that fall outside its nominal scope as a single cut-flower commodity, suggesting either systematic miscoding by issuing offices or a mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy and procurement practice in this category.

The geographic activity centers on Florida, with recent solicitations from Pasco County (landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (coastal dune plantings via Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance RFP, due July 29, 2025). A Texas city procurement also appears—the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026)—though its scope remains undefined. The absence of relevant recent opportunities under the code's stated commodity name suggests that vendors pursuing floral or cut-flower contracts with state and local buyers should verify the actual UNSPSC code assigned in individual solicitations rather than relying on this code as a reliable indicator of opportunity stream.
