UNSPSC 10241613: Live white mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241613 Live white mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that names a specific horticultural product, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear little relation to the code's nominal scope. The three most recent solicitations — a median landscape and irrigation construction project in Pasco County, Florida; a nursery plants and products ITB from the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida; and an IT and low-voltage infrastructure rebuild of a tennis center in DeKalb County, Georgia — show a fundamental mismatch between the code's specificity (a single cut-flower variety) and what state and local buyers are actually tagging under it. The Altamonte Springs ITB, which does address landscaping plants and products on an as-needed basis, encompasses annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees across four product groups with no emphasis on carnations or cut flowers. The other two opportunities fall entirely outside horticultural procurement, suggesting either miscoding in the source systems or automated categorization errors that have misaligned the code with genuine buying activity.

The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its intended scope. Issuing bodies have been primarily Florida municipalities (Pasco County, City of Altamonte Springs) and one Georgia county (DeKalb County), but the geographic and functional breadth of the opportunities does not support a clear pattern of carnation purchasing by state and local governments. Business development professionals should treat this code with caution — the mismatch between the commodity name and the solicitations it captures suggests that state and local procurement offices are not systematically using this code for cut-flower procurement, or that the opportunities on file have been miscoded. Pursuit is not recommended without direct confirmation from a prospective customer that they intend to buy live white mini or spray carnations under this specific UNSPSC code.
