UNSPSC 10301914: Fresh cut excalibur rose

Fresh cut bloom of the excalibur variety of rose

UNSPSC 10301914 Fresh cut excalibur rose is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plant procurement and installation services state and local governments solicitate, though recent opportunities tagged under this code show limited direct alignment with cut-flower supply alone. The recent activity instead reflects broader landscape maintenance, installation, and design work encompassing flowering plant material, irrigation systems, and grounds stewardship across parks, demonstration gardens, and public facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Fulton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida), and education service centers acting as cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). Fulton County and DeKalb County appear as repeat soliciting entities in the recent activity window, with Fulton County's South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden ITB emphasizing seasonal color changes in flower beds and urns alongside native plantings and pollinator habitat; Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets RFP explicitly scopes design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of flowering plants in street-mounted baskets with drip irrigation oversight. Work scopes frequently require qualified landscape architects or nursery dealer licensure and demonstrate emphasis on integrated pest management, water-efficient landscape practices, and ecosystem-support plantings.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest, with the most activity in Georgia (Fulton County's landscape maintenance ITB due November 30, 2026; DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction ITB due July 13, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation ITB due August 5, 2026), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets RFP due June 4, 2026, with pre-proposal conference May 13). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas manages a cooperative procurement for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) spanning two years with estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion and 136 previous awards, though this solicitation's alignment with cut florals specifically is unclear. The code shows sufficient recent activity to warrant tracking but appears better suited to firms offering integrated landscape design, installation, and maintenance services—particularly those prepared to meet state licensure requirements, demonstrate experience with water conservation and habitat standards, and perform seasonal color installations across multiple locations. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction: Fulton County identifies 34.71% availability of certified MBE firms and 11.45% of FBE firms; Hillsborough County Public Schools encourages small business and certified minority-owned business participation; Los Alamos County offers local and resident-business preferences under state and county code.
