UNSPSC 10401738: Dried cut sahara rose

Dried cut bloom of the sahara variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401738 Dried cut sahara rose is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of ornamental plant materials for environmental restoration, landscaping, and recreational programming. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific dried flower variety) and what state and local governments actually source under it. Of the two recent opportunities, one addresses native plant installation and ecological restoration services across wetlands and stormwater sites, while the other covers general arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks departments. Neither opportunity explicitly solicits dried cut sahara rose or a dried floral product. Pinellas County, Florida has posted the more directly relevant solicitation—an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services (2025–2030)—which calls for installation of 150 native plant species and invasive species removal at specific sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and McKay Creek. Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia issued an IFB for general arts and craft supplies for parks and recreation divisions with an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000. The code shows limited recent activity specifically aligned to dried ornamental flowers or sahara rose products in state and local procurement.

The two recent opportunities span Florida and Georgia, though the sample is too small to characterize meaningful geographic concentration. Pinellas County's environmental services RFP (due July 29, 2025) requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications and structures pricing around labor rates for field technicians, environmental scientists, and project managers rather than commodity pricing. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supply IFB (due February 25, 2026) targets multiple vendors on a non-exclusive basis with annual spending in the $30,000 to $50,000 range and allows the city to draw from comparable cooperative contracts if costs are lower. Neither opportunity appears to source dried cut sahara rose as a primary deliverable. State and local buyers using this code may be employing it as a catchall for horticultural or floral materials, but recent solicitation activity does not support pursuing this code as a focused market for dried floral products.
