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 nominally refers to fresh-cut red carnations, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under 10241518 span landscape construction, nursery plants and products procurement, and IT infrastructure — none of which involve live single bloom red carnations as a discrete product line. The mismatch suggests either classification drift in state and local systems or that jurisdictions are using the code as a catchall for horticultural and construction-adjacent services rather than as a specific flower commodity.

Activity appears sparse under this code. Pasco County (Florida) posted an IFB for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road in September 2026 with bids due October 6, 2026; the City of Altamonte Springs (Florida) posted an ITB for nursery plants and products including plugs, trees, and grass seed in August 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026, on an as-needed basis with contract commencement October 1, 2026 and renewal options through five years; and DeKalb County (Georgia) posted an ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction in June 2026 with bids due July 13, 2026, including IT and low-voltage infrastructure. The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Georgia in recent postings. Given the categorical mismatch, this code does not reliably track actual live carnation procurement or a coherent product or service family. Pursuits under this code should be validated against the specific RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB language rather than the nominal commodity description.
