UNSPSC 10301512: Fresh cut maritime rose

Fresh cut bloom of the maritime variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301512 Fresh cut maritime rose (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing ornamental plants and flower baskets for public landscaping and beautification, though the recent opportunities tagged to this code span a broader range of educational supplies and IT infrastructure work that falls outside the floral commodity category. The issuing bodies include county governments (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County), municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas), and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Of the four recent solicitations tagged to this code, only two align with fresh or cut floral procurement: Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets (proposals due June 4, 2026); and the City of Dallas's purchase of plants under IFS 215260 (bids due February 3, 2026). Two others—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 for educational supplies and DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 for IT infrastructure—appear to be categorization mismatches and do not reflect actual floral procurement.

Geographic activity centers on the Southwest and South, with Los Alamos County, New Mexico and the Dallas, Texas area showing recent demand. Los Alamos County's hanging basket contract contemplates a multi-year agreement of up to seven years with evaluation weighted toward Qualifications and Experience (35 points), Design and Maintenance Solution (35 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points); the County applies local, New Mexico resident, and Native American vendor preferences under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas's plant purchase requires all items new, unopened, and in original packaging with FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Rd.; one-year warranty from acceptance is required. Both solicitations demand online submission through municipal procurement portals. The code shows sparse recent activity relative to broader state and local procurement volume, suggesting limited current demand for fresh cut maritime roses specifically.
