One way you could handle this is to link the "Vacuum carpet" task to the note field in the "Buy a vacuum cleaner" task. Then, set the start date for the "Vacuum carpet" task to a time ahead when you know that you will have bought the vacuum cleaner. When you buy the vacuum cleaner, use the note field to jump to the task to vacuum the carpet. You can delete its start date to have it activate.

Alternatively, you could create the project with [contexts] this way ...

Project Clean Apartment (parallel project)
- Tidy Up (parallel action group)
-- make bed [Apartment]
-- put away laundry [Apartment]
-- wash dishes [Apartment]
- Clean Carpet (sequential action group)
-- buy vacuum cleaner [Shopping]
-- vacuum carpet [Apartment]
