UNSPSC 10241606: Live orange mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241606 Live orange mini or spray carnation (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass IT infrastructure installation, roadway landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration plantings, environmental site remediation and native plant installation, and general plant procurement — none of which match the purchase of live orange carnations as cut flowers or ornamental plants. State and local bodies soliciting under this code are primarily Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and the City of Dallas, alongside DeKalb County, Georgia, but the work being procured bears no consistent relationship to the carnation commodity. The code does not reflect genuine purchasing behavior for this specific flower type.

The geographic spread centers on Florida, where Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have posted recent infrastructure and environmental planting work, with secondary activity in Texas (Dallas) and Georgia (DeKalb County). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune plantings using native species (bid due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (response due July 29, 2025). The code shows no active solicitation for live carnations, and pursuit under this taxonomy is not warranted without evidence of direct carnation procurement opportunities.
