UNSPSC 10351603: Fresh cut hot pink mini or spray carnation

Fresh cut bloom of the hot pink mini or spray variety of carnations

UNSPSC 10351603 Fresh cut hot pink mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that in practice covers ornamental and landscaping plant procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show significant mismatch with the code's nominal scope. State and local buyers use this code tag for broader floral, plant material, and horticultural services — including hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance; general plant purchases for municipal landscaping; and educational supplies bundled into cooperative purchasing catalogs. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions (Los Alamos County), cities (Dallas), education service centers serving multiple school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and county government departments. The code shows activity across municipal beautification, parks infrastructure, and educational procurement streams, though the fresh-cut carnation specificity implied by the code name does not align with the horticultural services and plant-material bundling actually being solicited.

Recent activity centers in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County posted RFP26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 14, 2026; the procurement includes a seven-year potential term and requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 on January 28, 2026 for the purchase of plants, with bids due February 3, 2026, delivered FOB to a Dallas facility. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026 as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for educational activities and supplies with a July 30, 2026 deadline and estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years — though this vehicle bundles multiple unrelated commodity codes and does not focus on fresh florals. Los Alamos County offers local business, resident business, and Native American and veteran preference certifications under state and county code.
