UNSPSC 10302716: Fresh cut desire rose

Fresh cut bloom of the desire variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302716 Fresh cut desire rose (Commodity) represents horticultural and landscaping products state and local governments purchase through maintenance and grounds-care contracts. Recent solicitations show this code is being applied to landscape maintenance services—including seasonal plantings, mulch and soil amendments, irrigation system upkeep, and specialized horticultural work—rather than to fresh-cut flowers as the code name suggests. The work spans county parks departments, school districts, and municipal recreation divisions seeking qualified contractors to manage perennial gardens, pollinator and rain gardens, flower basket installations, and grounds beautification across public facilities. Bidders typically must hold state nursery licenses or horticultural credentials and provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to specification.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB on October 16, 2026 for landscape maintenance of the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden (due November 30, 2026), requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and quarterly care of pollinator and rain gardens, pest management, irrigation startup and shutdown, and seasonal color changes over a term through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida solicited landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services under ITB 26246ITBMST (due August 5, 2026) across all district facilities. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 (due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central and side streets, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through seven potential contract years, with local, resident, and veteran business preferences available. A cooperative purchasing vehicle also appeared: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited educational activities and supplies discounts (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) with an estimated $40.677 billion expenditure over two years, though this opportunity appears tangential to horticultural procurement.
