UNSPSC 10401601: Dried cut black lava rose

Dried cut bloom of the black lava variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401601 Dried cut black lava rose is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific horticultural product, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the literal commodity name. The single recent opportunity in the record is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, posted October 16, 2026, with bids due November 30, 2026. The scope covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; application of pine straw and uncolored hardwood mulch; pressure washing of benches and pathways; seasonal plant color changes in garden beds and urns; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup, shutdown, and maintenance with filter cleaning and valve adjustment; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and the county requires Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1 million minimum per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability insurance.

The geographic spread is limited to Georgia in the recent record. Fulton County is the sole issuing body represented, a county government procuring operational landscape maintenance. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope (dried cut black lava rose, a decorative horticultural product) and the actual procurement (comprehensive quarterly landscape maintenance services) suggests either miscoding by the issuing body or limited relevance of this UNSPSC code to current state and local market activity. Availability of certified MBE and FBE firms is 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively, for this construction work category. No other recent opportunities appear in the record under this code.
