UNSPSC 10302461: Fresh cut red princess rose

Fresh cut bloom of the red princess variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302461 Fresh cut red princess rose (Commodity) describes ornamental flowering plants and related landscape planting materials, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal alignment with the code's narrow nominal scope. The actual procurement activity under this classification spans landscape installation, maintenance, and irrigation services across public facilities and grounds—work that encompasses soil preparation, plant establishment, seasonal color changes, mulching, pressure washing, irrigation system management, and integrated pest management rather than purchase of cut flowers themselves. Counties and special-purpose districts dominate the issuing-body mix, along with school district systems and municipal parks departments; Fulton County, Georgia and Hillsborough County Public Schools appear as recent repeat buyers seeking multi-year landscape maintenance contracts.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with secondary representation in Texas and New Mexico. Fulton County, Georgia is requesting bids on landscape maintenance services for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden under ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM (responses due November 30, 2026), covering quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning, weeding, mulching, irrigation system startup and shutdown, and installation of wildlife habitat structures across a 0.95-acre scope. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida is soliciting landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services under ITB 26246ITBMST (responses due August 5, 2026) across all district facilities. Los Alamos County, New Mexico conducted an RFP (RFP26-55, responses due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, requiring contractors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license. The code shows little recent activity representing purchase of cut flowers themselves; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns warrants clarification of whether this code correctly reflects the procurement category.
