UNSPSC 10351611: Fresh cut purple mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10351611 Fresh cut purple mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that encompasses floral products, specifically fresh-cut carnations in purple colorways and mini or spray varieties, procured by state and local jurisdictions for landscaping, decoration, and horticultural programs. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show significant scope drift — only one of the four solicitations (Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets procurement) involves fresh flowers; the others address educational supplies cooperative purchasing, IT infrastructure reconstruction, and general plant material procurement. Issuing bodies include school district cooperatives, county parks and recreation divisions, and cities; Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance represents the most directly relevant activity, requiring a contractor with a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license to supply, plant, and maintain up to 144 baskets across the town's street light poles for a multi-year contract.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, with the strongest relevant signal from Los Alamos County, New Mexico, which posted RFP 2655 on May 7, 2026 for hanging flower basket services with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 14, 2026. The City of Dallas, Texas posted an Informal Solicitation for general plant material purchase in January 2026, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is conducting a renewal of its educational activities and supplies cooperative purchasing agreement (EDACT2628) with a July 30, 2026 deadline and estimated total expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years. The code shows limited recent alignment with fresh-cut carnation procurement specifically; most activity clusters around broader horticultural programs, landscaping maintenance, and educational supplies rather than cut-flower commodity sourcing.
