UNSPSC 10241513: Live single bloom peppermint bi color carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241513 Live single bloom peppermint bi color carnation is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single ornamental flower variety, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The recent solicitations capture landscape installation, dune restoration, environmental planting and monitoring, and general plant procurement — categories that span nursery stock, native vegetation, and site-level horticultural services rather than cut flowers or specific carnation cultivars. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida and Georgia) and municipalities (City of Dallas), suggesting that the code is being applied broadly to plant-related procurement across multiple jurisdiction types and regions. The work being solicited includes supply and installation of native dune plants following hurricane damage, invasive species removal paired with native plantings on wetlands and stormwater facilities, general plant material for city use, and IT infrastructure at a recreational facility — a divergence that indicates either tagging inconsistency or a significantly broader interpretation of the code in practice than the commodity name suggests.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (DeKalb County Georgia; Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida) with one recent solicitation from Dallas, Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) for 2.95 miles, with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and bids due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, a coastal restoration project requiring approximately 56,250 native plants with bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for general plant purchases, due February 3, 2026. The code shows active recent posting but displays significant scope misalignment with its nominal carnation classification, warranting verification of actual commodity intent before pursuit.
