UNSPSC 10350000: Fresh cut carnations

Fresh cut blooms of carnations

UNSPSC 10350000 Fresh cut carnations is a Family code under which state and local governments procure ornamental plants and flowers, including fresh cut carnations, hanging flower baskets with live plant material, and general nursery stock for landscaping and beautification projects. Recent solicitations show this code spans both one-time plantings for civic infrastructure and ongoing maintenance contracts. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, city procurement offices, and education service center cooperatives serving school districts. Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division and the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department are active buyers; the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, operates a standing cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational and general supplies that captures ornamental plant sourcing across its member school districts and other entities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. The Los Alamos County RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets covering up to 144 baskets across town streets, due June 4, 2026, requires contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and provide design, installation, and multi-year maintenance with weighted evaluation criteria favoring qualifications and experience (35 points) and design-and-maintenance solutions (35 points), with local and resident-business preferences available under New Mexico statute; the contract term extends up to seven years. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for purchase of plants with a February 3, 2026 due date, requiring new, unopened stock in original packaging delivered FOB to a specific Dallas address with a one-year replacement warranty from acceptance. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards indicating a renewal of an existing cooperative agreement.
