UNSPSC 10241509: Live single bloom light pink carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241509 Live single bloom light pink carnation (Commodity) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The five posted solicitations tagged to this code encompass IT infrastructure installation at a recreation center in DeKalb County, Georgia; landscaping and irrigation systems along a county road in Pasco County, Florida; coastal dune restoration planting in Collier County, Florida; environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple sites in Pinellas County, Florida; and a general plant purchase order for the City of Dallas, Texas. None of these opportunities center on carnations or single-bloom florals; the landscaping and environmental projects involve native species and dune vegetation in bulk quantities, while the Dallas procurement is an informal solicitation for plants without species specification. The code assignment appears misaligned with the actual work being solicited.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida counties—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas—and includes county governments and a major Texas city. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026), with a contract value capped at $120,000.00; Collier County's Quick Quote for dune restoration planting of approximately 56,250 native plants across coastal dunes (response due March 13, 2026); and Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services over five years (proposals due July 29, 2025). The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plants with a February 3, 2026 response deadline, specifying FOB delivery and a one-year warranty. Set-aside programs appear minimally referenced; Pinellas County noted SBE participation provisions with a work assignment threshold of $100,000, and Pasco County's local vendor preference did not apply due to state and federal funding. Pursuit of this code as defined is not recommended given the mismatch between the commodity classification and recent solicitation scope.
