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 nominally covers cut carnation flowers, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect flower procurement—they document landscape construction, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and general plant procurement across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source level or that the code's scope in state and local systems has diverged from its nominal classification. Of the five posted opportunities, only the City of Dallas IFS 215260 for Plants purchase is generic enough to plausibly encompass cut flowers, though the posting does not itemize species or confirm carnations are included. The remaining four opportunities—DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure rebuild, Pasco County's landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, Collier County's coastal dune planting project, and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and maintenance contract—address landscape installation, site restoration, and native plant management rather than cut-flower supply.

The geographic spread across the solicitations is concentrated in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties, plus the City of Dallas) and Georgia (DeKalb County), with no secondary pattern emerging from two opportunities. Issuing bodies include county commissions, a city procurement bureau, and county environmental or parks divisions. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract cap of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings (due March 13, 2026, with no stated budget), and Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting and maintenance services over five years (due July 29, 2025, structured as labor-rate-based contracts with a $100,000 SBE threshold). The code shows little relevant recent activity for cut-flower supply; firms pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity classification in use by target jurisdictions before resource allocation.
