UNSPSC 10351509: Fresh cut single bloom light pink carnation

Fresh cut bloom of the light pink variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10351509 Fresh cut single bloom light pink carnation is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of floral materials and plant-based decorative supplies by state and local governments. The recent solicitations indexed under this code reveal a broader scope than the narrow commodity name suggests: state and local buyers are actually soliciting hanging flower baskets with multi-year maintenance contracts, general plant materials for municipal landscaping and beautification, educational activity supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and infrastructure services. The issuing bodies span cities (Dallas, Los Alamos), counties (DeKalb), and education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), reflecting the fragmentation typical of small-dollar procurement across multiple jurisdictions and departments.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County (New Mexico) issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and evaluation weighted 35 points for qualifications, 35 for design and maintenance solution, 20 for cost, and 10 for references; the contract contemplates up to seven years with vendor-proposed pricing escalation. The City of Dallas solicited plant purchases via Informal Solicitation 215260 with a February 3, 2026 deadline, requiring new, unopened stock delivered FOB to a Dallas facility. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) issued EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion total expenditure over two years and a July 30, 2026 deadline, structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple school districts. These opportunities show mixed relevance to ornamental floriculture; the code's recent activity blends floral procurement with broader landscaping, maintenance, and educational supply frameworks typical of dispersed municipal and county spending.
