UNSPSC 10241614: Live yellow mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10241614 Live yellow mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cut-flower product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal relevance to this classification. The three most recent solicitations include two landscape and irrigation construction or plant-procurement projects (Pasco County's median construction phase and Altamonte Springs' nursery plant supply contract) and one information-technology infrastructure project for a tennis center (DeKalb County), none of which align with sourcing cut carnations. The code shows little recent activity in state and local procurement that matches its intended scope.

Of the two landscape-related opportunities, the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an ITB for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis with bids due July 29, 2026, covering plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seeds across four product groups with optional award to multiple contractors by group. Pasco County, Florida posted an IFB for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road with a response date of October 6, 2026. Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Georgia in the recent record, with no standout repeat buyers across these three opportunities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that either the code assignment is erroneous or the category sees minimal legitimate state and local demand for cut carnations specifically.
