UNSPSC 10401600: Dried cut chocolate or brown rose

Dried cut blooms of chocolate or brown roses

UNSPSC 10401600 Dried cut chocolate or brown rose is a Class code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name references a food or decorative-goods commodity, but the single recent opportunity in the dataset — Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at a demonstration garden — involves grounds maintenance, irrigation management, integrated pest management, and habitat installation with no connection to dried chocolate or botanical specimens. The solicitation calls for quarterly landscape upkeep including selective pruning, weeding, mulching, pressure washing, irrigation system startup and shutdown, bat box and bird house installation, and seasonal plantings across pollinator and rain gardens on a 0.95-acre site. The scope explicitly requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body represented in recent activity under this code. The November 30, 2026 response deadline and November 4 pre-bid conference for ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM indicate active procurement currently open. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval, and the county has identified certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope and the actual landscape-services work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state procurement system or that this code is not being used as intended for state and local contracting in this region. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its abstract definition.
