UNSPSC 10302323: Fresh cut dark engagement rose

Fresh cut bloom of the dark engagement variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302323 Fresh cut dark engagement rose is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes cut flowers, yet the four recent opportunities tagged under it encompass catalog discount bidding for educational supplies, IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a recreation center, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and plant procurement—none of which involve fresh cut roses or horticultural commodities in a manner that matches the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code inconsistently or that it is being used as a catch-all tag for disparate plant and supply purchases that do not fit the code's intended commodity description. Of the four records, only two involve plants as a primary deliverable: Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance, and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (new, unopened, in original packaging, FOB delivery to a Dallas address, one-year warranty, lowest responsive and responsible bidder). The remaining two opportunities—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's statewide education catalog discount vehicle and DeKalb County's IT infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center—bear no meaningful relationship to the code's horticultural commodity description.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts statewide; City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). The solicitations posted between late January and mid-June 2026, with response deadlines ranging from early February through late July. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55, closing June 4, 2026, includes multi-year pricing over up to seven years and weights proposals 35% on qualifications and experience, 35% on design and maintenance solution, 10% on references, and 20% on cost; the county applies local, state resident, Native American resident, and veteran business preferences. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation (February 3, 2026 close) requires a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, current insurance, and compliance with Dallas City Code Chapter 15B non-discrimination requirements. The Region 7 cooperative procurement, closing July 30, 2026, involves estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over a two-year term and carries 136 previous awards, indicating renewal of an existing statewide purchasing agreement. This code does not support reliable signal for fresh cut flower procurement in state and local markets.
