UNSPSC 10302338: Fresh cut high and fantasy rose

Fresh cut bloom of the high and fantasy variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302338 Fresh cut high and fantasy rose is a Commodity code that does not reflect the landscape maintenance, irrigation, and horticultural services actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code label. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show a categorical mismatch: the Fulton County, Georgia ITB for quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens (due November 30, 2026), the Hillsborough County Public Schools landscape and irrigation installation and maintenance ITB (due August 5, 2026), and the Los Alamos County RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) are grounds-management and horticultural-services work, not fresh-cut floristry or cut-rose supply. A fourth opportunity — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid — appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement under its stated commodity definition.

Geographic spread covers at least three states (Georgia, Florida, New Mexico) across the representative opportunities posted since mid-May 2026. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, DeKalb County, Los Alamos County), public school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center). The Fulton County opportunity is the most recent (posted October 16, 2026) and specifies a pre-bid conference on November 4, 2026 and a site visit on November 10, 2026, with the contractor required to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The Los Alamos County RFP offers local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico law and requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license; evaluation weighs qualifications and experience (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points). The mismatch between the Commodity code definition and the actual work being solicited suggests a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities.
