UNSPSC 10401716: Dried cut fedora rose

Dried cut bloom of the fedora variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401716 Dried cut fedora rose is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement context appears misaligned with current buying activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services—solicits ongoing quarterly landscape maintenance for pollinator and rain gardens, including native plant pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of wildlife signage and structures. This scope involves living plants and horticultural labor rather than dried cut flowers, indicating either a coding error in the solicitation or minimal alignment between the code's nominal commodity (dried fedora roses) and what state and local agencies are actually procuring under this designation.

The geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, with Fulton County representing the only recent documented opportunity. The ITB closed November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. Bidders must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Award criteria emphasize price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. MBE and FBE availability is noted at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category.
