UNSPSC 10241510: Live single bloom orange bi color carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241510 Live single bloom orange bi color carnation (Commodity) names a specific cut-flower product that state and local governments rarely procure directly; recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect a significant mismatch between the nominal taxonomy and actual purchasing activity. The two relevant opportunities posted in the last four months involve landscape construction and nursery plant procurement by Florida municipal and county bodies, neither of which centers on the specific carnation variety the code names. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' median landscape and irrigation construction project (IFBKM27004, IFB, due October 6, 2026) and the City of Altamonte Springs' nursery plant and product procurement (ITB26085KY, ITB, due July 29, 2026) both contemplate general ornamental planting and landscaping materials rather than specialty cut flowers. The Altamonte Springs solicitation does specify annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis across four product groups with delivery to Florida zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15–30 days, but does not isolate cut carnations as a line item.

Activity under this code shows geographic concentration in Florida, with both Pasco County and the City of Altamonte Springs located in the state's central region. A third opportunity, DeKalb County's reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026), was tagged under this code but involves IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than floral procurement and represents a clear taxonomic mislabeling. The code shows no meaningful recent state and local purchasing activity aligned with live cut carnations or specialty floral products; practitioners should verify whether opportunities posted under this code reflect accurate commodity classification or explore alternative UNSPSC categories for cut-flower procurement if pursuing municipal and county government flower supply contracts.
