UNSPSC 10401720: Dried cut ilios rose

Dried cut bloom of the ilios variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401720 Dried cut ilios rose, a Commodity code, nominally identifies preserved floral products but shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity under this classification. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026. This solicitation solicits ongoing quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native plants, mulch application, irrigation system management, pressure washing, seasonal plantings in garden beds and planters, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage with bat boxes and bird houses — work that falls outside the dried floral commodity's nominal scope.

Fulton County appears as the sole recent issuing body under this code. The South Fulton contract requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment, with insurance including Commercial General Liability at $1 million per occurrence and Professional E&O Liability. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4 and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. MBE availability is 34.71% and FBE availability is 11.45% for this construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal product category and the landscape maintenance work actually being solicited suggests the code assignment may not reflect current procurement intent, and pursuit should validate the issuing body's actual commodity classification before bid preparation.
