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, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a significant mismatch with the code's nominal scope. While the code name specifies fresh cut roses, the four recent solicitations cover educational supplies catalog discounts, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and general plant purchases — none of which align with wholesale fresh-cut rose procurement. The issuing bodies represent diverse state and local jurisdictions: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), DeKalb County Georgia, Los Alamos County New Mexico, and the City of Dallas Texas. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, though Texas appears in two of the four recent opportunities.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for fresh cut rose procurement specifically. Among the four posted opportunities, only the Los Alamos County RFP26-55 (due June 4, 2026) and City of Dallas IFS 215260 (due February 3, 2026) involve plant material at all — the former for hanging flower basket design and multi-year maintenance under an RFP with weighted evaluation criteria (Qualifications 35%, References 10%, Design and Maintenance 35%, Cost 20%), the latter for general plant purchases via informal solicitation with a lowest-responsive-and-responsible vendor standard. Neither solicitation targets fresh cut roses. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 (due July 30, 2026) is a broad educational supplies catalog discount bid serving multiple school districts over a two-year term, and the DeKalb County ITB 2026-076-ITB addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure for tennis center reconstruction. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification, as the recent opportunities suggest this code may be incorrectly tagged in state and local systems or the code's recent activity diverges substantially from its stated commodity definition.
