UNSPSC 10302211: Fresh cut fado rose

Fresh cut bloom of the fado variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302211 Fresh cut fado rose is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers landscape maintenance and horticultural services for public facilities, including pollinator and rain gardens, street plantings, and decorative hanging flower baskets. The code appears in practice to span ongoing maintenance of established plantings, seasonal color changes, mulching, irrigation system management, and periodic site assessments rather than cut-flower procurement alone. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County and DeKalb County in Georgia, Los Alamos County in New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The work solicited ranges from quarterly landscape maintenance contracts on demonstration gardens to multi-year hanging-basket design, installation, and maintenance programs to district-wide landscape and irrigation service agreements. Contractors must often hold state nursery or landscape architect licenses, demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and integrated pest management, and maintain comprehensive liability and workers compensation insurance.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Fulton County, Georgia issued ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM on October 16, 2026 for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance with bids due November 30, 2026, requiring quarterly service of pollinator and rain gardens including selective pruning, mulching, pressure washing, irrigation system maintenance, and integrated pest management. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted ITB 26246ITBMST on September 28, 2026 for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across HCPS facilities, encouraging participation from small and minority-owned business enterprises. Los Alamos County, New Mexico conducted RFP 2655 closing June 4, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on town streets, with contractors required to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and weighted evaluation criteria favoring qualifications and experience (35 points) and design and maintenance solutions (35 points). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628 (closing July 30, 2026) representing a cooperative purchasing vehicle, though this opportunity shows minimal alignment with horticultural work under the code's nominal scope.
