UNSPSC 10302384: Fresh cut sweet candia rose

Fresh cut bloom of the sweet candia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302384 Fresh cut sweet candia rose is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plant procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities block shows significant mismatch with the code's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass general educational supplies and materials (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid), IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County), hanging flower basket design and maintenance services (Los Alamos County), and plant purchases without species specificity (City of Dallas). Only the Los Alamos and Dallas opportunities clearly involve living flowering plants; the educational supplies and IT infrastructure projects are unrelated to fresh-cut candia roses or ornamental horticulture. The issuing bodies span education service centers, county governments, and city procurement offices, with Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative representing a large multi-district cooperative vehicle.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). The Los Alamos County RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, requires design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 baskets across town streets; vendors must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and are evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance approach (35 points), and cost (20 points), with New Mexico and local business preferences available. The City of Dallas IFS 215260 for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026, specifies new, unopened plants in original packaging delivered FOB to Dallas with no substitutes accepted and a one-year warranty. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog discount bid EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026, lists estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years but encompasses broad educational supplies rather than floral products. The code's recent activity suggests misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and actual procurement scope; candidates pursuing ornamental plant sales should verify code usage in specific RFPs rather than relying on this taxonomy entry.
