UNSPSC 10351506: Fresh cut single bloom green or prado carnation

Fresh cut bloom of the green or prado variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10351506 Fresh cut single bloom green or prado carnation is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific cut-flower product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with fresh carnation procurement. The source contains four recent opportunities, only one of which addresses fresh flowers: Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower baskets (design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets on downtown streetscape poles, with proposals due June 4, 2026). The other three opportunities—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid, DeKalb County's IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center, and the City of Dallas's general plant purchase—are unrelated to fresh carnations or cut-flower procurement and appear to be miscoded. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The single opportunity substantively addressing floral procurement is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55, which requires contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and to supply, install, and maintain living plant material in hanging baskets with multi-year contract pricing through 2033. Evaluation criteria weight qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). Los Alamos County offers local-business, resident-business, Native American resident, and resident-veteran preferences under New Mexico Code Section 13-1-21 and county ordinance. The proposal deadline was June 4, 2026 with award targeted for July 14, 2026. Because the three unrelated opportunities appear to be tagging errors rather than genuine fresh-carnation demand, and because the single relevant opportunity is for maintained living plants rather than cut flowers, the code does not signal active state and local procurement demand for fresh carnation products.
