UNSPSC 10351609: Fresh cut pink mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10351609 Fresh cut pink mini or spray carnation (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers cut-flower products, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it involve landscape maintenance, irrigation installation, educational supplies, IT infrastructure, and hanging floral basket design and maintenance services—work that extends well beyond fresh-cut carnation supply and reflects significant miscoding or misclassification in the underlying procurement records.

The single opportunity that approaches tangential relevance is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across Central Avenue and surrounding streets in the Los Alamos town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026. The contractor must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply plant material according to specified designs and quality standards, and maintain drip irrigation systems; the County provides wire baskets, liners, hangers, and irrigation infrastructure. Evaluation weighs qualifications and experience (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points). Los Alamos County offers local-business, resident-business, Native American resident, and veteran preference under County Code and New Mexico statute, requiring offerors to submit valid preference certificates. The remaining three opportunities—Fulton County landscape maintenance, Hillsborough County Public Schools irrigation and landscape services, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies—do not align with fresh-cut carnation commodity supply and should not be classified under this code. Bidders pursuing work under UNSPSC 10351609 should verify with issuing bodies that the code correctly reflects their procurement intent before committing proposal resources.
