UNSPSC 10302229: Fresh cut osiana rose

Fresh cut bloom of the osiana variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302229 Fresh cut osiana rose is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchase of fresh cut flowers. Instead, the solicitations show garden and landscape plant procurement, maintenance services, and educational supplies across cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct municipal buys. The work actually being solicited includes hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance for municipal streetscapes; supply and installation of general plants for city operations; and catalog discounts on educational products and supplies. Issuing bodies span regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing agreements, county parks and recreation divisions, and city procurement offices.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). Representative recent opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on municipal streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring offerors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and subject to local, resident, and Native American business preferences; the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plants due February 3, 2026, with all products required to be new and unopened, FOB delivery to a specified Dallas address, and subject to a one-year warranty from acceptance; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across 136 previous awards. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (fresh cut osiana rose) and the actual work being solicited suggests limited procurement activity aligned specifically with this commodity designation.
