UNSPSC 10241520: Live single bloom yellow carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241520 Live single bloom yellow carnation is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with ornamental flower procurement. Instead, the code shows activity spanning IT infrastructure installation, roadway landscaping and irrigation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental habitat management and monitoring, and general plant material purchasing — none of which involves carnation procurement specifically. The issuing bodies include county departments of innovation and technology, county public works and environmental divisions, and city procurement offices across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, reflecting a mix of special-purpose environmental and infrastructure projects rather than horticultural commodity sourcing.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida, with Pasco County posting an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026), Collier County issuing a Quick Quote for coastal dune plantings with 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County soliciting a five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center (due July 13, 2026), and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for general plants with a due date of February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in state and local databases or that this Commodity code is not actively used for its intended purpose in current state and local procurement activity.
