UNSPSC 10302508: Fresh cut red sweetheart rose

Fresh cut bloom of the red sweetheart variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302508 Fresh cut red sweetheart rose (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to the code's nominal scope. The four recent opportunities posted under this code include catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies, IT infrastructure reconstruction at a county recreation facility, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and a generic plant purchase for a city facility. Only the Los Alamos County hanging flower baskets RFP and the City of Dallas plant purchase directly involve horticulture or floral products; the educational supplies and IT infrastructure solicitations are plainly unrelated to fresh cut flowers. The Los Alamos opportunity requires a valid nursery dealer license and encompasses supply, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets with existing drip irrigation, evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), with a multi-year contract term of up to seven years and local, resident, and Native American veteran preference eligibility under New Mexico statute. The Dallas plant purchase is an informal solicitation (IFS) requiring new, unopened products shipped FOB to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, with a one-year replacement warranty and no alternatives or substitutes accepted.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest, with New Mexico and Texas jurisdictions posting the most relevant opportunities. Los Alamos County posted RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets with a June 4, 2026 proposal deadline, and the City of Dallas posted IFS 215260 for plant purchases with a February 3, 2026 deadline. The issuing bodies are a county (Los Alamos) and a city (Dallas), representing local government parks and recreation and general municipal procurement. The code does not show recent activity from school districts, state departments, or transit authorities aligned to fresh cut flower supply, suggesting limited state and local demand for this commodity outside of horticultural and landscaping contexts.
