UNSPSC 10302182: Fresh cut verano rose

Fresh cut bloom of the verano variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302182 Fresh cut verano rose is a Commodity code that captures what state and local governments actually buy under it: flowering plants and decorative botanicals for landscape installation, maintenance, and seasonal display. The recent opportunities show municipal parks departments, county recreation divisions, and education service centers procuring cut flowers and potted plants for public-facing landscapes, streetscapes, and facility grounds. Work ranges from one-time plant purchases to multi-year design, installation, and maintenance contracts for municipal flower baskets and seasonal plantings. Issuing bodies include cities (Dallas), counties (DeKalb in Georgia, Los Alamos in New Mexico), and regional education cooperatives (Region 7 in Texas), reflecting a mix of general-purpose local government and education procurement.

Activity in the code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central Avenue and other town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solutions (35 points), and cost (20 points), with preference available under New Mexico resident and local-business statutes; the City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for purchase of new, unopened potted plants with one-year warranty and delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, bids due February 3, 2026, evaluated lowest responsive and responsible; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628, a multi-district education cooperative vehicle for catalog discount bids on educational products and supplies, with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years and proposals due July 30, 2026. The mismatch between the code name (fresh cut verano rose) and the scope of recent opportunities — which includes potted plants, hanging baskets, landscaping maintenance, and broad educational supply catalogs — suggests the code's nominal title does not align with the range of plant and horticultural products state and local buyers currently solicit under it.
