UNSPSC 10302617: Fresh cut high and pure rose

Fresh cut bloom of the high and pure variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302617 Fresh cut high and pure rose is a Commodity code that nominally covers ornamental rose procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal alignment with fresh-cut flower supply. The single identifiable opportunity under this code is Los Alamos County, New Mexico's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets (up to 144 units across town streets), posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026. That engagement centers on live plant material, drip irrigation assessment, and seasonal maintenance rather than fresh-cut florals. The remaining three recent opportunities — Fulton County, Georgia's landscape maintenance ITB for pollinator and rain gardens; Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation installation and repair ITB; and DeKalb County's IT infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center — contain no fresh-cut rose procurement and appear mistagged to this code. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) is similarly unrelated.

The code shows little current market activity relevant to fresh-cut rose supply under state and local procurement. Los Alamos County's hanging basket RFP, the only substantially relevant recent solicitation, requires contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply plant material to specified design and quality standards, and maintain plants throughout the season—a scope centered on live nursery stock and horticulture services rather than cut-flower procurement. The County offers local and resident business preferences under New Mexico statute and requires cost proposals for up to seven contract years with evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points). If pursuing state and local fresh-cut ornamental-flower opportunities, expect sourcing demand concentrated in municipal beautification and horticultural demonstration projects rather than routine institutional procurement; activity remains sparse enough that this code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit at this time.
