UNSPSC 10302008: Fresh cut esperance rose

Fresh cut bloom of the esperance variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302008 Fresh cut esperance rose is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag floral supply solicitations, though recent activity shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured. The code appears in a diverse issuing-body mix including education service centers, county parks departments, and municipal procurement offices. The scope of work tagged under this code encompasses general plant and flower procurement for landscaping, maintenance, and floral display purposes across public facilities and parks. Education service centers like Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicit bulk educational and facility supplies under cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts; city departments solicit individual plant orders for delivery to municipal facilities; and county parks divisions solicit multi-year contracts for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets with live plant material and ongoing horticultural services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) posted a major catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years, though this solicitation's scope is far broader than fresh cut roses and suggests a tagging anomaly. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) with delivery to a municipal facility. Los Alamos County in New Mexico conducted an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026), requiring a valid nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through seven contract years, with local and resident veteran business preferences available. A DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for tennis center reconstruction (ITB 2026-076, due July 13, 2026) was also tagged under this code but addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure, indicating the code designation does not reflect actual scope. The most relevant recent opportunities for fresh cut roses or florals are the Los Alamos RFP and Dallas plant purchase, though neither explicitly specifies esperance roses.
