UNSPSC 10302356: Fresh cut mata-hari rose

Fresh cut bloom of the mata-hari variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302356 Fresh cut mata-hari rose is a Commodity code that nominally names a single floral product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a mismatch with its scope. The code appears in solicitations for educational supplies cooperative purchasing, IT infrastructure reconstruction, ornamental hanging baskets with multi-year maintenance, and general plant procurement — none of which align with the purchase of fresh cut mata-hari roses as a discrete product. State and local governments posting these opportunities are using the code to tag broader plant, floral, and landscape services rather than the specific rose variety the code names. The issuing bodies span Texas education service centers running cooperative purchasing vehicles, county parks and recreation departments, and municipal procurement offices, reflecting a mix of specialized districts and general-purpose cities.

The recent activity appears in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving school districts statewide, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). Representative recent solicitations include Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with a pre-proposal conference on May 13, 2026 and proposals due June 4, 2026; the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchases, with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new unopened plants in original packaging delivered FOB to a Dallas facility; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies serving multiple school districts, with proposals due July 30, 2026 and an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with fresh cut mata-hari roses specifically; buyers appear to be applying it to general ornamental plants, landscaping materials, and educational supply procurement broadly.
