UNSPSC 10302423: Fresh cut first red rose

Fresh cut bloom of the first red variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302423 Fresh cut first red rose (Commodity) covers landscape and horticultural supply and maintenance work being procured by county parks departments, school districts, and municipal entities across the United States, not cut-flower retail supply. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect landscape design, installation, and maintenance services for public gardens, parks, and educational facilities — including pollinator habitat management, irrigation system maintenance, seasonal plantings, and related grounds-keeping work. 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 serving education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). The code shows activity primarily from county parks and recreation divisions and school district maintenance operations.

Geographic recent activity centers on Georgia and Florida, with additional procurement in New Mexico and through Texas cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance of the South Fulton Demonstration Garden (response due November 30, 2026), which requires quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, seasonal plantings, and irrigation management; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities (response due August 5, 2026); and Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streets (response due June 4, 2026, with award estimated July 14, 2026). Both Fulton County's ITB and Los Alamos County's RFP required site visits or pre-proposal conferences; Los Alamos County offered local and New Mexico resident business preferences under state statute. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (cut flowers for retail sale) and the landscape-services work actually being solicited suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems.
