UNSPSC 10302318: Fresh cut cherry o rose

Fresh cut bloom of the cherry o variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302318 Fresh cut cherry or rose (Commodity) encompasses the supply of fresh-cut flowers for state and local government use, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities record names four solicitations tagged under this code, but only one — the City of Dallas purchase of plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) — aligns with fresh floral products; that opportunity requires new, unopened plants in original packaging, FOB delivery to Dallas, with a one-year warranty and no alternatives accepted. The other three opportunities involve educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, and hanging flower basket design and maintenance services — none of which represent fresh-cut flowers or rose procurement. Issuing bodies appearing in the record span municipalities (City of Dallas), counties (DeKalb County, Los Alamos County), and regional education cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), but the mismatch between the code's taxonomy and the work actually solicited suggests weak market signaling under this particular commodity code.

Activity under 10302318 appears concentrated in Texas and Georgia based on the recent record, though the Dallas plants purchase is the only opportunity with clear relevance to fresh flowers. Los Alamos County's hanging basket RFP (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) involves horticultural services and design rather than fresh-cut flower supply, and requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points); that contract term contemplates up to seven years with price escalation mechanisms subject to county approval. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative opportunity (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) is a two-year educational supplies catalog vehicle serving Texas school districts with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion and 136 previous awards, but does not target flowers. State and local governments do source fresh flowers and plants through procurement channels, but this code's recent activity does not reflect consistent or substantial demand for fresh-cut cherry or rose products.
