UNSPSC 10302003: Fresh cut carousel rose

Fresh cut bloom of the carousel variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302003 Fresh cut carousel rose is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The code represents ornamental cut flowers for landscaping and decorative applications, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases — none of which center on carousel rose procurement or cut-flower supply. The City of Dallas solicited plants via Informal Solicitation 215260 in January 2026, specifying new, unopened items in original packaging with FOB delivery to a single Dallas address and a one-year warranty from acceptance; the solicitation did not name carousel roses or specify cut-flower varieties. Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 for the design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets across the town site, requiring a New Mexico nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through July 2028, but this covers living plants in basket arrangements rather than cut roses. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) in June 2026 for educational activities and supplies across a two-year term with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion, oriented toward school districts rather than horticultural procurement. The code shows fragmented and tangential recent activity that does not map clearly to fresh cut carousel rose supply — pursuit would require clarifying whether individual jurisdictions tag cut-flower orders under this code or whether the code itself sees minimal state and local use.

No recent state and local opportunities explicitly solicit carousel roses by variety or cut-flower supply contracts under this code. The geographic spread of tagged opportunities includes Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, City of Dallas) and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), with one Georgia opportunity (DeKalb County) entirely unrelated to plant procurement. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods tagged suggests either inconsistent coding practice across jurisdictions or minimal direct procurement of cut carousel roses at the state and local level — a signal worth investigating before allocating resources to this category.
