UNSPSC 10401729: Dried cut message rose

Dried cut bloom of the message variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401729 Dried cut message rose is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities—an environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services contract from Pinellas County, Florida, and an arts and craft supplies procurement from Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia—do not involve dried cut roses or floristry products. The environmental services solicitation focuses on invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance across mitigation sites and stormwater management areas; the arts and craft procurement seeks general hobby and recreational supplies for parks and recreation divisions. State and local procurement offices appear to be tagging these opportunities with this code despite the mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual work being solicited.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code includes Florida and Georgia, though the opportunities themselves do not reflect demand for dried cut roses. Pinellas County issued an RFP (Solicitation 250628RFP) for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services with a response deadline of July 29, 2025, structured as a five-year contract with potential extensions and targeting firms with wetland ecology and native plant expertise. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 (Solicitation PE70662NONST2026000000093) for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies on February 4, 2026, with a due date of February 25, 2026, anticipating $30,000 to $50,000 in annual purchases across parks and recreation divisions. Neither solicitation represents procurement of dried cut flowers, suggesting the code assignment reflects data quality issues rather than genuine market activity for this commodity.
