UNSPSC 10302624: Fresh cut polar star rose

Fresh cut bloom of the polar star variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302624 Fresh cut polar star rose is a Commodity code that nominally names a single floral product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little relevant purchasing activity aligned with cut flowers. The five most recent opportunities include landscape maintenance and irrigation services for demonstration gardens (Fulton County, Georgia), multi-year landscape and irrigation contracting across school facilities (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida), educational supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas), IT infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County, Georgia), and hanging flower basket design and maintenance (Los Alamos County, New Mexico). Only the Los Alamos hanging basket opportunity involves flowering plants as a material component; the others address grounds maintenance, irrigation systems, educational goods, or IT work entirely unrelated to cut polar star roses or cut flowers generally. The issuing bodies are county governments and school districts, with one education service center cooperative. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees minimal state and local procurement activity for cut polar star roses specifically.

Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, posted May 7, 2026 with proposals due June 4, 2026, is the only opportunity among the five that includes flowering plants; it calls for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets across town streets, with the contractor supplying plant material, managing irrigation, and replacing failed plants at no cost to the County within ten days of installation. Evaluation weights qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). No other recent opportunities under this code involve cut flowers or fresh floral procurement. The geographic spread across these five opportunities spans Georgia, Florida, Texas, and New Mexico, but only New Mexico procurement is relevant to the code's stated commodity. State and local buyers do not appear to use this code frequently for cut polar star rose purchasing.
