UNSPSC 10302611: Fresh cut blizzard rose

Fresh cut bloom of the blizzard variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302611 Fresh cut blizzard rose is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of ornamental flowers and plantings, though the recent opportunities block shows little direct activity under this specific code. The four opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases — none of which specifically target fresh cut blizzard roses. The issuing bodies include a Texas education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), a Georgia county government (DeKalb County), a New Mexico county government (Los Alamos County), and a Texas city (City of Dallas). Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance is the most directly relevant to horticultural procurement, requiring contractors to hold a valid nursery dealer license and supply plant material to specified design standards over a multi-year term. The City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plants specifies new, unopened stock delivered FOB to a Dallas address, with a one-year warranty and no substitutes accepted.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast, with posted opportunities in New Mexico, Georgia, and Texas. Recent solicitations show geographic spread across municipal, county, and cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than concentration in a single jurisdiction or issuing body. The Los Alamos County hanging flower basket RFP (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) offers a multi-year contract opportunity with weighted evaluation criteria emphasizing qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points), with local and state resident preferences available under New Mexico law. The City of Dallas plant purchase solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) used a lowest responsive and responsible vendor standard with FOB delivery pricing and thirty-day price-firm terms. No dollar values are disclosed in the source material for either opportunity. The narrowness of the recent opportunity set and the divergence between the code's botanical focus and the broader educational and infrastructure work tagged to it suggest limited direct procurement velocity under this specific commodity classification.
