UNSPSC 10241611: Live purple mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241611 Live purple mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single ornamental flower product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope of landscaping, dune restoration, environmental planting, and general plant procurement work. The code shows little activity that directly matches live purple carnations; instead, issuing bodies are using it to solicit bids and proposals for large-scale site plantings, native species installation, maintenance services, and general plant purchases. Buyers include counties (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and cities (Dallas, Texas), reflecting activity across municipal and county procurement offices. The kinds of work being procured range from coastal dune restoration with native species to roadway median landscaping and irrigation, invasive species removal paired with native plant installation, and unspecified general plant stock for city operations.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. Representative opportunities include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) with a bid due date of April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings with a March 13, 2026 deadline; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services for 2025–2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for Purchase of Plants, with a deadline of February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (live purple mini or spray carnation) and the actual solicitation scope—which emphasizes native species, environmental restoration, site maintenance, and general plant stock—signals that this code is functioning as a catch-all for plant and landscaping procurement rather than a true carnation-specific category. Bidders pursuing work under this code should expect to respond to landscape design-build, native planting, and vegetation management requests that diverge substantially from the code's literal name.
