UNSPSC 10302405: Fresh cut black finess or black magic rose

Fresh cut bloom of the black finess or black magic variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302405 Fresh cut black finess or black magic rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes ornamental cut flowers, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span landscape maintenance, irrigation services, educational supplies, IT infrastructure, and decorative planting — a mismatch indicating either broad misclassification or that jurisdictions are using the code as a catch-all for horticultural and grounds-related work. Where the code does align with its nominal scope, state and local governments procure ongoing landscape maintenance and seasonal plantings for public gardens, parks, and streetscapes, including mulching, pruning, pest management, irrigation system maintenance, and seasonal color rotation. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). The scope of work that does fit the horticultural framing involves quarterly or seasonal maintenance contracts for demonstration gardens, public plantings, and streetscape amenities such as hanging flower baskets.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB on October 16, 2026 (due November 30, 2026) for landscape maintenance services on a 0.95-acre South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and covering pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation startup and shutdown, and quarterly site walkthroughs through December 31, 2027 with two optional renewals. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP on May 7, 2026 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and plant delivery by May 15 each year; the contract term contemplates up to seven years with pricing required for each year. The broader opportunities (Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation ITB, Region 7's educational supplies cooperative) and the DeKalb County IT infrastructure bid show significant misalignment with the code's nominal scope.
