UNSPSC 10241612: Live red mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241612 Live red mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within horticultural procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. Of three recent solicitations, only one — the City of Altamonte Springs ITB for nursery plants and products — involves carnations or similar flowering plants as part of a broader landscaping procurement; the other two (Pasco County's median landscape and irrigation construction, and DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction including IT infrastructure) are construction and infrastructure projects unrelated to cut flowers or potted carnations. State and local governments soliciting under this code appear to be primarily municipalities and county government bodies in Florida and Georgia, though the small sample size and category mismatch limit reliable characterization of the issuing-body mix.

The City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY, posted August 24, 2026 with a due date of July 29, 2026, represents the most relevant recent activity — an as-needed, when-needed landscaping plants and products contract spanning plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed across four product groups, with award by group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder and contract commencement on October 1, 2026 for an initial one-year term renewable for up to four additional years. Delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 must occur within 15 days for in-stock items or up to 30 days for special orders. The code shows minimal recent activity specifically for live carnation procurement at the state and local level; businesses evaluating pursuit under this Commodity code should note the mismatch between the nominal product category and actual buyer demand and consider whether broader landscaping-plant procurement codes better align with their service scope.
