UNSPSC 10302622: Fresh cut nova zembla rose

Fresh cut bloom of the nova zembla variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302622 Fresh cut nova zembla rose is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show minimal alignment with fresh-cut floral product procurement. The most recent opportunities involve educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and potted plant purchases — none of which match fresh-cut roses as a commodity. The only solicitation with genuine relevance to horticultural products is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, which requires design and maintenance of containerized plantings on municipal streetscapes, with the contractor supplying all plant material and managing irrigation systems. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (posted January 2026) specifies potted or containerized stock in original packaging, also unrelated to cut flowers. The code shows little recent activity in actual fresh-cut floral procurement at state and local level; the opportunities present instead reflect landscape maintenance, containerized nursery stock, and educational supplies bundled under an apparently misaligned taxonomy tag.

Issuing bodies in the recent record span a Texas education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), a Georgia county government (DeKalb County), and two municipal jurisdictions (Los Alamos County Parks Division and City of Dallas). Los Alamos County's hanging basket RFP is the only opportunity with substantive relevance to live plant supply and maintenance, requiring vendor licensure as a New Mexico nursery dealer and proposing a multi-year agreement with responses due June 4, 2026. The City of Dallas's plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) appears to have already closed. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and the Southwest; no other states report recent solicitations under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (fresh-cut nova zembla roses) and the actual work being bought (potted plants, hanging basket maintenance, educational supplies) suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code sees minimal use in current state and local procurement. Firms pursuing cut-flower supply contracts with municipalities should expect to encounter this code infrequently if at all.
