UNSPSC 10302304: Fresh cut aqua rose

Fresh cut bloom of the aqua variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302304 Fresh cut aqua rose, a Commodity code, nominally addresses horticultural products, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement activity under this code. The one relevant opportunity in the recent record—Los Alamos County's RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets—involves live plantings and ongoing horticultural services rather than cut flowers. The solicitation requires the contractor to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply plant material according to specified designs, maintain drip irrigation systems, and manage seasonal replacement and care. The remaining three recent opportunities tagged to this code address landscape and irrigation maintenance across demonstration gardens (Fulton County, Georgia ITB), school facility landscaping and irrigation (Hillsborough County Public Schools ITB), and educational supplies (Texas education cooperative), none of which involve fresh cut flowers as a product category. The code shows no active state or local demand for cut aqua roses or similar cut-flower procurement in the available record.

Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued the primary relevant opportunity under this code—RFP2655 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, with contract award estimated for July 14, 2026. The scope encompasses design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets across Central Avenue and surrounding streets, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). The County offers local and resident business preferences under New Mexico statute and County Code Section 31-261(b), requiring valid preference certificates. Proposals are submitted electronically through the County Procurement Portal; a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held May 13, 2026. This code does not support meaningful recent business development activity in cut-flower procurement at the state and local level.
