UNSPSC 10301521: Fresh cut stranger rose

Fresh cut bloom of the stranger variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301521 Fresh cut stranger rose is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of fresh-cut floral materials for landscaping, seasonal decoration, and horticultural projects by state and local governments. Recent activity under this code, however, shows minimal direct alignment with fresh-cut roses themselves; instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span broader floral and plant procurement including live plants, hanging flower baskets with seasonal plantings, and general plant materials for municipal landscaping and parks. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county government (Los Alamos County, New Mexico; DeKalb County, Georgia), city government (City of Dallas, Texas), and education service cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). The scope of work ranges from one-time purchases of plants delivered to municipal facilities to multi-year hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance contracts requiring valid nursery dealer licensure and drip irrigation system management.

The most recent opportunities originate in Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County posted RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026, seeking design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award targeted for July 14, 2026; the solicitation applies New Mexico local and resident business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026, for purchase of new plants delivered to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, Texas 75220, with bids due February 3, 2026 and evaluation on lowest responsive and responsible vendor; all plants must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with a one-year warranty required. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid on educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026, representing a multi-year cooperative purchasing vehicle estimated at $40.677 billion over two years. The code shows fragmented activity across multiple jurisdictions with no clear concentration, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (fresh-cut stranger roses) and the actual procurement categories (live plants, baskets, and general landscaping materials) suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source system or a need to assess whether your firm's fresh-cut rose supply or horticultural services align with the live-plant and landscape-maintenance work actually being bought.
