UNSPSC 10302424: Fresh cut forever young rose

Fresh cut bloom of the forever young variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302424 Fresh cut forever young rose (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity focused on ornamental plants and horticultural supplies for municipal landscaping, parks, and educational institutions. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code show substantial scope mismatch. Of the four most recent solicitations, only one genuinely aligns with cut flowers: Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) involves live plant material and ongoing horticultural services. The other three opportunities — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid, DeKalb County's IT and low-voltage infrastructure rebuild for a tennis center, and the City of Dallas's plant purchase solicitation — diverge sharply from the cut-flower Commodity code's nominal scope. The Dallas opportunity (Informal Solicitation 215260, due February 3, 2026) specifies "plants" but requires new, unopened, original-packaging items shipped FOB delivery to a Dallas address, suggesting potted nursery stock rather than cut flowers. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with fresh cut flowers specifically.

Geographic activity under this code spans Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), though the mismatch between the code's cut-flower definition and the actual solicitations limits meaningful geographic or buyer-type characterization. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative opportunity is a multi-entity cooperative purchasing vehicle with an estimated two-year value of $40.677 billion across educational supplies (not cut flowers), suggesting the code may be incorrectly applied in state and local systems. Practitioners should treat this code as showing light genuine activity in fresh-cut-flower procurement; Los Alamos County's hanging-basket maintenance contract represents the closest alignment with horticultural supply and service work, though it encompasses live plants and ongoing cultivation rather than cut flowers.
