UNSPSC 10351612: Fresh cut red mini or spray carnation

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

UNSPSC 10351612 Fresh cut red mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually purchasing under recent opportunities tagged with this classification. The recent opportunities on record show landscape maintenance services, including pollinator and rain garden upkeep, irrigation system management, and hanging flower basket design and installation—work that involves perennials, shrubs, grasses, and seasonal plantings rather than cut flowers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current procurement activity suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets, or that issuing bodies are misclassifying landscape and horticultural service contracts when they post them.

The five most recent opportunities span Georgia counties (Fulton and DeKalb), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), a Texas education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and New Mexico counties (Los Alamos), posted between June and October 2026. Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscaping (due November 30, 2026) and Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) represent the category's actual work—seasonal plantings, mulching, irrigation maintenance, and plant replacement rather than fresh-cut carnation supply. Hillsborough County Public Schools' landscape and irrigation ITB 26246ITBMST and the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies catalog bid (EDACT2628) further illustrate the breadth of issuing bodies, though the cooperative's scope is too broad to confirm whether cut flowers fall within its educational supplies mandate. None of the opportunities explicitly demand fresh cut flowers or carnations as a line item, and the DeKalb County IT infrastructure contract is unrelated to horticultural procurement.
