UNSPSC 10302861: Fresh cut rubicon spray rose

Fresh cut bloom of the rubicon spray variety of rose

UNSPSC 10302861 Fresh cut rubicon spray rose is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal actual demand for fresh cut flowers themselves. Instead, the code appears to capture a range of unrelated plant and landscaping services—hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance; general plant procurement; and educational supplies—that state and local jurisdictions are purchasing under broader cooperative or individual solicitations. The work being solicited includes multi-year hanging basket programs with live plant maintenance and irrigation oversight, one-time plant purchases for city operations, and catalog-based educational product discounts that span supplies far beyond florals. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, municipal purchasing departments, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles that serve school districts and other public entities across their regions.

Los Alamos County, New Mexico has solicited design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets under RFP26-55 (proposals due June 4, 2026), with multi-year pricing expected and preference designations available for Local, New Mexico Resident, Native American, and Veteran-owned vendors. The City of Dallas solicited plant purchases under Informal Solicitation 215260 (bids due February 3, 2026) requiring new, unopened stock FOB delivery. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid opportunity (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) covering educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its member school districts. Geographic activity centers on Texas and New Mexico, with the education cooperative vehicle serving multiple districts statewide. The code shows limited recent activity directly tied to fresh cut flower procurement; vendors should confirm current issuing-body demand before pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity designation.
