UNSPSC 10301601: Fresh cut black lava rose

Fresh cut bloom of the black lava variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301601 Fresh cut black lava rose is a Commodity code representing horticultural products and services state and local governments buy for landscaping, beautification, and garden maintenance projects. Recent solicitations under this code show procurement activity centered on landscape maintenance contracts that include plant material sourcing, installation, and seasonal care. Issuing bodies span county governments, school districts, and special-purpose local authorities. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden (due November 30, 2026), specifying quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens with selective pruning, weeding, mulching, and seasonal plant color changes. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across school facilities (ITB 26246ITBMST, posted September 28, 2026), requiring bidders to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes (RFP 2655, due June 4, 2026), with contractor responsibility for plant material supply and drip irrigation monitoring under a multi-year agreement structure. These solicitations confirm that state and local buyers under this code purchase fresh plant material, horticultural labor, design services, and integrated maintenance—not cut flowers for resale, but living plants and landscaping systems for public spaces.

The geographic footprint spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Southwest (New Mexico) with activity also reported in Texas through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Fulton County and Hillsborough County Public Schools represent repeat institutional buyers in recent months. The Fulton County ITB requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and mandates knowledge of water-efficient and native-habitat standards, signaling that procurement under this code often includes environmental and ecological compliance criteria alongside basic maintenance. Los Alamos County's preference program—which extends to Local Business, New Mexico Resident Business, and Native American Resident classifications—illustrates that some jurisdictions layer local and socioeconomic preferences onto landscape services. A Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative education sector bid (EDACT2628, posted June 15, 2026) listed an estimated $40.677 billion over two years and referenced 136 previous awards, suggesting this code may also capture educational and landscaping supply catalogs through cooperative purchasing vehicles, though the scope diverges from the single-flower-species definition. Recent activity is concentrated in maintenance-and-management contracts rather than fresh-cut commodity transactions alone.
