UNSPSC 10241600: Live mini or spray carnations

Live plants including the root ball of the mini or spray carnations that have multiple blooms per stem

UNSPSC 10241600 Live mini or spray carnations is a Class code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve IT infrastructure installation (DeKalb County tennis center reconstruction), landscaping and irrigation systems (Pasco County roadway median work and Collier County coastal dune restoration), environmental planting and wetland management (Pinellas County five-year ecological restoration services), and general plant procurement (City of Dallas plants purchase). None of these solicitations concern carnations or similar ornamental cut flowers; the code appears to have been applied incorrectly to work that falls under landscape installation, native plant ecological restoration, or general horticultural supply categories. State and local buyers using this taxonomy are posting actively in landscaping and environmental restoration work, but not under a carnation-specific commodity code.

The geographic spread of the mislabeled opportunities spans Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with Florida counties dominating recent activity in dune restoration, roadway landscaping, and environmental management services. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response date April 14, 2026), Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune planting with approximately 56,250 native plants (response date March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for invasive species removal and native plant installation across multiple environmental sites (response date July 29, 2025). Firms pursuing work in this category should verify actual UNSPSC coding against project scope before bidding, as the carnation commodity code does not reflect the landscape design, ecological restoration, and native plant installation work currently being solicited.
