UNSPSC 10302609: Fresh cut avalanche rose

Fresh cut bloom of the avalanche variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302609 Fresh cut avalanche rose is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flower procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied broadly to general horticultural and plant-supply contracts that extend well beyond cut flowers to include hanging baskets, landscape planting services, and bulk plant inventory. State and local buyers under this code include municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts with parks and recreation divisions or public beautification mandates. The Los Alamos County RFP for hanging flower baskets and maintenance (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) and the City of Dallas plant purchase (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) exemplify the scope—cities and counties are soliciting live plant material, installation labor, and ongoing horticultural maintenance. These opportunities diverge significantly from the "fresh cut avalanche rose" descriptor; the actual buying includes perennial plantings, seasonal basket arrangements, and multi-year landscape contracts rather than cut flowers for floral arrangements.

Recent activity is geographically scattered across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County in New Mexico is seeking multi-year hanging basket design, installation, and maintenance with proposals evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), with state and local vendor preferences available under New Mexico code. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS) for plants with a February 3, 2026 response date, requiring new, unopened stock delivered FOB to a specific Dallas address, with one-year warranty and lowest-responsive-and-responsible evaluation. DeKalb County in Georgia posted ITB 2026-076 on June 9, 2026 (due July 13) for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction, a project appearing unrelated to ornamental horticulture and likely mislabeled under this code. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas circulated a cooperative catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies spanning a $40.677 billion two-year term with 136 prior awards, suggesting this is a renewal vehicle whose scope may include miscellaneous supplies rather than specialty plants.
