UNSPSC 10401604: Dried cut estelle rose

Dried cut bloom of the estelle variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401604 Dried cut estelle rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes floral products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual dried flower purchasing. Instead, Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for comprehensive landscape maintenance and operational management services covering pollinator and rain gardens at a county demonstration facility, with work including quarterly site walkthroughs, selective pruning of native plantings, mulch and pine straw application, irrigation system maintenance, pressure washing, seasonal plantings in garden beds and urns, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage for bat boxes and bird houses. The scope reflects ongoing grounds stewardship and horticultural management rather than procurement of cut flowers. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, with all labor, materials, and equipment provided by the vendor.

Fulton County, Georgia is the identified issuing body in recent activity. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM (Solicitation Number PE66096NONST2026000000219) posted October 16, 2026, with bids due November 30, 2026, a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, and a recommended site visit for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029 subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Availability of certified MBE firms is 34.71% and FBE firms is 11.45% for this construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried cut flowers) and the actual solicitation suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging or limited relevance of this code to current state and local procurement activity in this commodity family.
