UNSPSC 10241504: Live single bloom cream bi color carnation

Live plant including the root ball of the cream bi color variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10241504 Live single bloom cream bi color carnation is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific flowering plant variety, but the recent state and local solicitations bearing this code show little alignment with cut-flower procurement. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span landscape installation, native plant restoration, dune stabilization, environmental site management, and general plant purchase — work that falls under broader horticultural and grounds-maintenance families rather than floral commodity supply. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida; Dallas, Texas), reflecting a mix of public works, natural resources, parks, and city general services departments. The work ranges from infrastructure-adjacent landscape projects (roadside irrigation and median plantings) to coastal environmental restoration and invasive-species removal on a multi-year contract basis.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, with four of five solicitations originating from Florida counties and municipalities. The DeKalb County, Georgia, ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026) centers on IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than plantings and represents a clear mismatch with the code's stated scope. More representative are the Pasco County IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings (posted and due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (2025–2030, with July 29, 2025 submission deadline). The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plants (posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026) with FOB delivery to a Dallas address, but no specific plant types or quantities were detailed. The code shows a significant tagging mismatch across multiple jurisdictions, suggesting either systematic miscoding or a broad default assignment of plant-related work to a single commodity code regardless of actual deliverables.
