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 is a Commodity code that encompasses cut-flower procurement for municipal beautification, landscaping maintenance, and educational supply arrangements. The state and local opportunities posted under this code diverge significantly from the nominal category name—three of four recent solicitations involve broader horticultural services (hanging-basket design and maintenance, general plant procurement) or completely unrelated infrastructure work (IT cabling for a tennis center reconstruction), with only one substantially relevant to cut-flower supply. The issuing-body mix includes education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), county park and recreation departments (Los Alamos County), city procurement offices (Dallas, Georgia), and county infrastructure departments, indicating activity across school systems, municipal parks divisions, and general city purchasing. The code shows sporadic recent activity with significant scope misalignment; it does not appear to be a primary procurement vehicle for cut-flower supply in state and local markets.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include Los Alamos County's RFP 2026-076 for hanging-flower-basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance (proposals due June 4, 2026, with contract award estimated July 14, 2026), which required vendors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and offered local, resident, and resident-veteran business preferences under New Mexico procurement law; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for general plant purchase (proposals due February 3, 2026), specifying new, unopened stock with FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, Texas. The Texas education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative) posted a catalog-discount-bid solicitation for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion across its cooperative network, though the opportunity summary does not confirm cut-flower inclusion in the catalog discount structure. Activity has centered in Texas and New Mexico with isolated municipal procurement in Georgia, though the code's recent-opportunities block reflects low relevance to fresh-cut-carnation supply specifically.
