UNSPSC 10301905: Fresh cut caress rose

Fresh cut bloom of the caress variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301905 Fresh cut caress rose is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The one relevant opportunity in the recent record is Los Alamos County, New Mexico's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets for the town site—a multi-year contract covering up to 144 baskets distributed across Central Avenue and named streets, with the contractor supplying all plant material and maintaining plantings to specified designs and quality standards. The remaining three opportunities posted under or near this code—Fulton County's landscape maintenance services for demonstration gardens (ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM), Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation installation and repair (ITB 26246ITBMST), and an unrelated educational supplies cooperative bid (EDACT2628)—fall outside the Commodity's scope of fresh cut roses and flowering plants as finished goods or services. The Los Alamos solicitation is the only current state or local opportunity that frames procurement around horticultural supply and maintenance of flowering plant material in a commercial or public-facing setting.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico is the sole jurisdiction with recent relevant activity under this code. The RFP26-55 opportunity posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with estimated contract award July 14, 2026. The contractor must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, deliver and install plant material by May 15 each year, and maintain plants according to County designs; the County provides infrastructure (baskets, liners, hangers, irrigation). Evaluation weighs Qualifications and Experience (35 points), References (10 points), Design and Maintenance Solution (35 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points). Los Alamos County extends local-business, resident-business, Native American resident, Native American veteran, and resident-veteran preferences under County Code and state statute, with offerors required to hold valid preference certificates and, for local preference, a current County business license with principal office in Los Alamos County. The contract term runs up to seven years with pricing proposed for each potential year; escalation mechanisms are at the County's sole discretion. A pre-proposal conference was held May 13, 2026; written questions closed May 21, 2026.
