UNSPSC 10241604: Live lavender mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241604 Live lavender mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific horticultural product—live lavender miniature or spray carnations—but the recent opportunities posted under it do not align with flower procurement. Instead, the code tags solicitations for IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction), large-scale coastal dune restoration using native plants (Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and maintenance contract), roadside landscaping and irrigation systems (Pasco County's Ridge Road project), and general plant procurement (City of Dallas plant purchases). The geographic spread spans Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) alongside Georgia and Texas municipalities, but the work being bought—infrastructure cabling, native dune species installation, irrigation systems, and unspecified plant material—bears no consistent relationship to the lavender carnation commodity the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas, DeKalb), a city procurement office (Dallas), and a county department of innovation and technology. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) at a contract value not to exceed $120,000, Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings with supply and installation of 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). The code appears to serve as a catch-all category for horticultural procurement rather than a precise commodity classifier, creating a mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it.
