UNSPSC 10401709: Dried cut caramel antike or caramel antique rose

Dried cut bloom of the caramel antike or caramel antique variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401709 Dried cut caramel antike or caramel antique rose, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitation record contains no purchases of dried flowers or botanical specimens tagged to this code. Instead, the single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves ongoing grounds care, irrigation management, and seasonal plantings in living gardens, not dried-flower procurement. The scope includes quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning of native grasses and perennials, mulch and pine straw application, pressure washing, and integrated pest management, with contract performance running through December 31, 2027 and optional renewals through 2029.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body reflected in recent activity under this code, with a response deadline of November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4. The county requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, demonstration of water-efficient landscaping expertise, and compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. MBE availability is reported at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for the construction work category. The code's recent activity does not support pursuing this category based on the nominal commodity definition; the tagging appears to be a classification error rather than a signal of dried-flower procurement by state and local governments.
