UNSPSC 10301518: Fresh cut sanaa rose

Fresh cut bloom of the sanaa variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301518 Fresh cut sanaa rose is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual landscape and horticultural services state and local governments are procuring under the recent opportunities tagged with this code. The solicitations show a disconnect between the code's nominal scope—a specific cut-flower product—and the work being bought: landscape maintenance, irrigation system management, pollinator garden stewardship, flower basket design and installation, and seasonal plantings across demonstration gardens, school facilities, and municipal streetscapes. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, DeKalb County, Los Alamos County, Hillsborough County), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing agreements (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The work requires contractors to hold nursery dealer licenses or landscape architect credentials, manage integrated pest management and drip irrigation systems, maintain native plantings and pollinator habitat, and deliver seasonal color and hardscape maintenance.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, New Mexico, and Texas. Fulton County is soliciting under ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on November 4. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities, with responses originally due August 5, 2026 and Addendum 1 issued July 21, 2026. Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on municipal streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, weighted evaluation on qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points), and New Mexico resident, local business, and veteran-preference options available. The code shows substantial mismatch between its product-focused title and the service-delivery and landscape-stewardship activity actually being procured.
