UNSPSC 10241511: Live single bloom orange carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241511 Live single bloom orange carnation is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific cut-flower product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little activity directly aligned with that scope. The five recent opportunities posted since January 2026 span IT infrastructure installation, landscape and irrigation design and installation, coastal dune restoration planting, multi-year environmental remediation and native plant management, and a general plant-procurement RFQ — none of which are specifically orange carnations or cut flowers. The code appears to be misapplied to broader horticultural and landscaping work by issuing bodies that may have defaulted to a floral commodity code when filing landscape or environmental planting solicitations.

Recent activity reflects substantial ongoing work in landscape restoration and native plant installation across Florida counties and Texas cities. Pasco County issued an IFB on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, with a contract value not to exceed $120,000. Collier County solicited bids via Quick Quote on March 13, 2026 for dune planting supplies and installation across 225,000 square feet, including 56,250 native plants and coastal hardening materials. Pinellas County posted an RFP on February 26, 2026 for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025, though the date appears retrospective). The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026 (due February 3, 2026) for a general plant purchase with FOB delivery to Dallas. DeKalb County's June 2026 ITB for tennis center reconstruction includes IT and low-voltage infrastructure work unrelated to the code's stated scope. The geographic concentration in Florida (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and the Texas outlier, combined with the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation work, signals that this code carries minimal relevant activity for ornamental cut-flower vendors and should be treated as a low-priority watch unless your firm operates in landscape or environmental restoration services.
