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 recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of three recent opportunities posted under this code, only one represents landscaping plant procurement genuinely related to live carnations or similar flowering plants: the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, which covers annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups with delivery to two zip codes within 15 to 30 days. The other two opportunities—Pasco County's median landscape and irrigation construction project and DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure rebuild—are construction and infrastructure projects that do not match the carnation commodity code. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (City of Altamonte Springs) and county government (Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, DeKalb County), though the geographic spread and issuing-body activity pattern cannot be reliably characterized from these three records when two are misaligned with the code's scope.

The Altamonte Springs ITB represents the only decision-relevant opportunity: the City awards by product group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder and may award to multiple contractors, requires bidders to submit percentage-off discounts from published catalog prices plus a flat delivery fee per order, and mandates Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and proof of active Florida Sunbiz registration, current Business Tax Receipt, E-Verify participation, and clearance from the State of Florida's Scrutinized List and the Federal Excluded Parties List. The contract runs one year from October 1, 2026 with four optional one-year renewals, and either party may terminate with 45 days' notice after the first 90 days. Bidders may propose for one or more of the four groups (plugs, trees, plants, and grass seed); the posting date was August 24, 2026 and the bid due date was July 29, 2026, indicating the opportunity has already closed. The code shows insufficient recent activity to characterize it as an active state and local procurement category.
