UNSPSC 10302416: Fresh cut colorado velvet rose

Fresh cut bloom of the colorado velvet variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302416 Fresh cut Colorado velvet rose (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's scope. The single relevant recent opportunity is Los Alamos County, New Mexico's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets for the Los Alamos town site, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026. The County seeks up to 144 hanging baskets across multiple streets, with the contractor supplying all plant material and maintaining plants to specified designs and quality standards; the contractor must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. Plant material delivery and installation occur by May 15 each year, with any plants failing within ten days of installation replaced at the contractor's expense. The remaining three recent opportunities posted under this code (Fulton County's landscape maintenance ITB, Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation ITB, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid) are tangentially or wholly unrelated to fresh cut roses or floral supply, suggesting the code assignment reflects a classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement demand.

Geographic activity is limited to the Southwest (New Mexico only) among the opportunities presented. The Los Alamos RFP evaluation weighs Qualifications and Experience (35 points), References (10 points), Design and Maintenance Solution (35 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points), with the County offering local, New Mexico resident, and Native American resident preferences. Award is estimated for July 14, 2026. The code does not demonstrate sufficient recent state and local procurement volume to characterize issuing-body or geographic concentration; absent additional opportunities beyond the single Los Alamos hanging basket contract, this code warrants close monitoring rather than active pursuit unless your firm has deep expertise in ornamental floral supply and New Mexico public-sector relationships.
