UNSPSC 10302770: Fresh cut sun king rose

Fresh cut bloom of the sun king variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302770 Fresh cut sun king rose is a Commodity-level code that state and local governments have tagged in recent procurement activity for ornamental plants and floral materials — though the recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The code appears in solicitations for general plant purchases, hanging flower baskets with installation and maintenance, and educational supplies catalogs; none of these directly align with cut-rose procurement. The issuing bodies span education service centers, counties, and municipal parks departments. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion in expenditures over two years, due July 30, 2026. Los Alamos County in New Mexico issued an RFP (RFP26-55) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-center streets, due June 4, 2026, with preferences for local, New Mexico resident, Native American resident, and veteran businesses. The City of Dallas solicited bids for general plant purchases under an informal IFB (IFS 215260) with a February 3, 2026 response date, requiring new, unopened plants delivered FOB to a Dallas address.

Recent activity is scattered across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, with no clear concentration of cut-rose-specific procurement under this code. The three plant-related opportunities—Los Alamos's hanging baskets, Dallas's plant purchase, and Region 7's educational supplies catalog—suggest the code captures ornamental plantings and general horticultural materials rather than fresh cut flowers. The mismatch between the code name (fresh cut sun king rose) and what is actually being bought indicates this code may be misapplied in state and local systems, or it is used as a catch-all for plant procurement regardless of form. No solicitation explicitly names cut roses as a deliverable. Vendors should verify code application and expected scope with each issuing body before pursuing; the recent record offers limited signal for fresh cut rose demand specifically.
