UNSPSC 10351500: Fresh cut single bloom carnations

Fresh cut blooms of carnations that have one bloom per stem

UNSPSC 10351500 Fresh cut single bloom carnations is a Class code that encompasses floral and horticultural procurement by state and local government entities, including hanging flower baskets, seasonal plantings, and cut flowers for parks, civic spaces, and municipal landscaping. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing designed and maintained floral installations, bulk plant material for seasonal displays, and cut flowers for events and public facilities. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, city procurement offices, and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. The scope of work ranges from annual supply contracts for bulk plant material to multi-year design-build-maintain agreements for landscape installations requiring licensed nursery vendors, phased maintenance schedules, and performance guarantees on plant health and replacement.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and seven-year maintenance, due June 4, 2026), the City of Dallas, Texas (informal solicitation for bulk plants, due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center (catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies including plant material, due July 30, 2026). The Los Alamos County procurement is the most representative recent opportunity under this code—an RFP requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, responsibility for plant sourcing and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets across town streets, and proposals evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance plan (35 points), and cost (20 points), with preferences available for local, resident, Native American, and veteran-owned vendors. The City of Dallas solicitation represents simpler transactional purchasing of new, unopened plant stock delivered FOB Dallas with one-year warranty, while the Region 7 cooperative reflects catalog-discount aggregation serving multiple school districts statewide.
