UNSPSC 10301742: Fresh cut transition rose

Fresh cut bloom of the transition variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301742 Fresh cut transition rose is a Commodity code covering the purchase and supply of cut roses for landscaping, floral display, and horticultural installations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code tagged to landscape maintenance and installation work, but the actual buying activity diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope—the opportunities solicited are for landscape design, installation, maintenance, and irrigation services rather than the procurement of cut roses themselves. Fulton County, Georgia and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida both issued ITBs for broad landscape and irrigation maintenance services covering pollinator gardens, rain gardens, hardscape maintenance, and irrigation system management; Los Alamos County, New Mexico solicited design and installation of hanging flower baskets with ongoing maintenance via RFP. These issuing bodies span county governments, school districts, and special-purpose local authorities. The actual transactional activity under this code in recent months shows little evidence of direct cut rose procurement by state and local entities; instead, the code appears to be misapplied to broader landscape services contracts where cut flowers or planted specimens may be incidental to the work scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida based on the recent opportunities, with secondary activity in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies bid, though unrelated to this code) and New Mexico. The most representative recent opportunity is Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden Landscape services with a response date of November 30, 2026, which encompasses quarterly maintenance of established gardens including seasonal plant color changes in beds and urn planters but focuses primarily on pruning, mulching, irrigation, and integrated pest management rather than cut rose supply. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for Hanging Flower Baskets Multi-Year (due June 4, 2026) involves design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets on street light poles, requiring the contractor to supply and maintain plant material but again emphasizing installation and horticultural management over cut flower procurement. The code shows minimal alignment with actual state and local purchasing practice in this sample; buyers pursuing cut rose supply should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code reflect genuine flower procurement or reflect miscoding of landscape service contracts.
