UNSPSC 10302181: Fresh cut valentine rose

Fresh cut bloom of the valentine variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302181 Fresh cut valentine rose is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with fresh-cut floral products. Instead, the code has captured solicitations for hanging flower baskets, general plant procurement, educational supplies via cooperative purchasing, and IT infrastructure work — none of which represent cut flowers or Valentine's-day specific floral products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests the code sees minimal relevant state and local procurement today.

The four recent opportunities span disconnected categories and geographies. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) posted a cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026; Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with proposals due June 4, 2026 and a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026; the City of Dallas conducted an informal solicitation for plants with bids due February 3, 2026; and DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a tennis center reconstruction project with bids due July 13, 2026. Activity appears in Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, but the solicitations do not reflect a coherent procurement category aligned with fresh-cut valentine roses. Buyers pursuing this code should verify classification accuracy with issuing offices, as miscoding may be directing inquiries away from the florals market altogether.
