UNSPSC 10241518: Live single bloom red carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241518 Live single bloom red carnation is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of plants and related landscaping materials for state and local capital projects, environmental restoration, and municipal beautification work. State and local governments buy this code's outputs primarily through landscape contractors and plant suppliers executing dune restoration, park reconstruction, roadway median plantings, and environmental mitigation projects. The issuing bodies span county governments, cities, and regional special-purpose districts across the South and Southeast, with particular activity in Florida's coastal counties managing post-hurricane restoration and stormwater management initiatives. Work under the code includes supply of native and ornamental plant materials (trees, shrubs, groundcover, sea oats, dune vegetation), planting labor and site preparation, irrigation system installation and design, initial watering and establishment care, and compliance with environmental permitting and ecological standards.

Recent opportunities reflect coastal restoration and infrastructure beautification rather than cut-flower procurement. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover at Florida Department of Agriculture Grade Number 1 standards, with a contract ceiling of $120,000. Collier County solicited via Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026) for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, supplying and installing approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune. Pinellas County released an RFP (due July 29, 2025) for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering invasive species removal and native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites, with SBE participation provisions. The City of Dallas posted Informal Solicitation 215260 (due February 3, 2026) for purchase of plants with delivery to a municipal address, requiring new, unopened materials and one-year warranty coverage. The code shows concentrated activity in Florida and Texas, with work heavily weighted toward ecological restoration and municipal landscape infrastructure rather than florist or ornamental cut-bloom supply.
