UNSPSC 10241602: Live cream mini or spray carnation

Live plant including the root ball of the cream mini or spray variety of carnations

UNSPSC 10241602 Live cream mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that nominally covers fresh cut flowers, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows a substantial mismatch between the code's title and actual purchasing patterns. Of the three recent opportunities tagged to this code, two are landscape and nursery plant procurement (Pasco County's median irrigation and planting work, and the City of Altamonte Springs' as-needed nursery stock contract covering annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees), while one is IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction in DeKalb County—plainly unrelated to floriculture. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of live carnation flowers.

The two landscape-related opportunities originate in Florida and Georgia respectively. The City of Altamonte Springs is procuring nursery plants and products on an as-needed, when-needed basis under ITB 26-085-KY (response deadline July 29, 2026), with an initial one-year contract term commencing October 1, 2026 and options to renew for up to four additional years. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued IFB KM27004 for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along approximately 9 miles of Little Road (response deadline October 6, 2026), encompassing landscape design, planting, and irrigation system installation. The mismatch between the code's floriculture focus and the actual purchasing activity—which centers on landscape construction and broad nursery procurement rather than cut carnation flowers—suggests this code may be receiving misclassified opportunities or sees limited aligned state and local demand.
