UNSPSC 10302237: Fresh cut taxo rose

Fresh cut bloom of the taxo variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302237 Fresh cut taxo rose is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of fresh-cut flowers, particularly taxo roses, for ornamental and landscaping applications by state and local government entities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh-cut flowers as part of broader horticultural and beautification projects, though activity under this specific code appears limited. The issuing bodies include counties, cities, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives serving education and parks departments. Scope of work ranges from one-time plant purchases to multi-year landscape and floral maintenance contracts that include design, installation, ongoing care, and seasonal replacement of flowering plants and arrangements.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Southwest, with recent solicitations from Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance with proposals due June 4, 2026); the City of Dallas, Texas (Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchases due February 3, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas school districts (EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026). The Region 7 cooperative vehicle, with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term, suggests broader purchasing aggregation, though the scope spans general educational supplies rather than fresh-cut flowers specifically. The Los Alamos RFP requires contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offers local, resident, and veteran-business preferences under New Mexico procurement law. Current activity under the code appears modest relative to related horticultural procurement — recent opportunities show stronger volume in general plant purchases and maintenance contracts than in fresh-cut taxo roses alone.
