UNSPSC 10341500: Fresh cut rose bouquets

An arrangement of various types of fresh cut flowers and greens that are at least 75 percent roses

UNSPSC 10341500 Fresh cut rose bouquets is a Class code, but state and local procurement activity under it shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent solicitations. Of the four recent opportunities tagged with this code, only one — Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets and maintenance — involves flowering plants procured by a government entity. The other three opportunities encompass educational supplies and catalog discounts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction (DeKalb County, Georgia), and general plant purchases with no flower-specific emphasis (City of Dallas). The Los Alamos hanging baskets solicitation does show real procurement activity: design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across Los Alamos town site streets, with the contractor required to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply plant material, and maintain plants to specified quality standards.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico is the only repeat buyer evident in recent activity. The RFP26-55 closing date was June 4, 2026 with estimated award July 14, 2026; the scope encompasses seven-year pricing proposals with contractor-proposed escalation mechanisms and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (35 points) and design and maintenance (35 points). Los Alamos offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under County Code and New Mexico statute, requiring valid preference certificates. Beyond the Los Alamos opportunity, the code shows minimal relevant recent activity — the Dallas plant purchase and Region 7 educational supplies solicitation do not align with cut rose bouquets or ornamental floral services, and the DeKalb County IT infrastructure work is unrelated. Geographic concentration is limited to New Mexico and Texas among recent postings, with only one substantive opportunity. Firms pursuing ornamental floral services for state and local governments should monitor the code cautiously, as tagged activity does not reliably indicate fresh cut rose procurement demand.
