UNSPSC 10351605 Fresh cut light pink mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plants and fresh-cut florals used for landscaping, parks, streetscaping, and general municipal beautification. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh-cut or living flowering plants—including carnations, hanging flower baskets with mixed plantings, and general nursery stock—for public spaces and grounds maintenance. The work includes supply of plant material, design and installation services, and ongoing seasonal maintenance. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions, city procurement offices serving general municipal operations, and education service centers procuring for school-district networks. Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have posted recent opportunities; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, is actively soliciting under a multi-entity cooperative purchasing vehicle that aggregates demand across many school districts and entities.
