UNSPSC 10302169: Fresh cut rosselle rose

Fresh cut bloom of the rosselle variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302169 Fresh cut rosselle rose, a Commodity code, nominally identifies individual florals; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with fresh-cut floral products. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for landscape maintenance services, irrigation system management, and horticultural facility upkeep. Fulton County, Georgia issued an ITB for quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens at its South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, requiring selective pruning of native grasses, shrubs, and perennials; mulch application; pressure washing; integrated pest management; and irrigation system startup and shutdown. Los Alamos County, New Mexico conducted an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with contractors required to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and supply plant material according to specified designs. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted an ITB for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across HCPS facilities with itemized pricing for identified work items. The code also appears in an unrelated Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies catalog discount bid. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, DeKalb County, Los Alamos County, Hillsborough County) and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives, with landscape and irrigation work dominating the recent activity.

Geographically, recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in New Mexico and Texas. The Fulton County ITB for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance closes November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10; the scope emphasizes water-efficient landscaping, wildlife habitat standards, and quarterly maintenance of gardens totaling 0.95 acres, with contract term running through December 31, 2027 plus optional one-year renewals. Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for hanging flower baskets, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026, evaluates qualifications and experience (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), with contract term of up to seven years and multiple state preferences available including local business priority. The mismatch between this code's nominal fresh-cut floral scope and the actual landscape services being solicited suggests the code is being misapplied; fresh-cut flower procurement would typically appear under a different commodity classification.
