UNSPSC 10302239: Fresh cut valencia rose

Fresh cut bloom of the valencia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302239 Fresh cut valencia rose is a Commodity code that sees limited but meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement, though the actual opportunities being solicited under the code show significant divergence from fresh-flower procurement. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower baskets with maintenance, and general plant purchases — only the last two align directly with horticultural procurement. The issuing bodies are mixed and include large cities (Dallas), counties (Los Angeles, DeKalb), education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and municipal parks divisions. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative represents a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple school districts and education entities, which is distinct from individual jurisdictional buyers and suggests significant volume aggregation potential through education-focused channels.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico based on recent postings. Los Alamos County in New Mexico conducted an RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring bidders to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico procurement rules. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases with a February 3, 2026 deadline, requiring FOB delivery to a specified Dallas location and offering a one-year warranty from acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicited educational activities and supplies discounts (EDACT2628) with a July 30, 2026 deadline and an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its network, though this listing is tagged to the fresh-rose code without apparent relevance to the actual scope.
