UNSPSC 10241507: Live single bloom hot pink carnation

Live plant including the root ball of the hot pink variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10241507 Live single bloom hot pink carnation is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The five recent solicitations include IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center (DeKalb County, Georgia, ITB), landscaping and irrigation installation along a roadway (Pasco County, Florida, IFB), coastal dune native plant restoration (Collier County, Florida, Quick Quote), environmental planting and invasive species management (Pinellas County, Florida, RFP), and a general plant purchase (City of Dallas, Texas, Informal Solicitation). Only the Dallas plant purchase directly addresses horticultural supplies; the others involve landscape construction, ecological restoration, or environmental services that are categorically distinct from single-bloom carnation supply. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying cut flowers or potted carnations to state and local jurisdictions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (three of five opportunities: Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties) with additional solicitations in Georgia and Texas. The Florida opportunities focus on large-scale environmental and landscape work—dune restoration, stormwater pond maintenance, and roadside planting—rather than floristry or horticultural retail. The Pasco County IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, due April 14, 2026, budgets $120,000 and requires State of Florida licensing and E-Verify enrollment. The Collier County Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings, due March 13, 2026, specified approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower with firm pricing through September 30th. The Pinellas County RFP for five-year environmental planting and maintenance services, due July 29, 2025, targets certified applicators for invasive species removal and native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites. None of these opportunities signal demand for the specific product—live single bloom hot pink carnation—that the code nominally describes.
