UNSPSC 10401802: Dried cut caipirinha rose

Dried cut bloom of the caipirinha variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401802 Dried cut caipirinha rose is a Commodity code that nominally designates dried floral materials, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that scope. The single recent opportunity posted under 10401802 is a landscape maintenance services contract from Fulton County, Georgia for quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of wildlife habitat structures such as bat boxes and bird houses. This work is entirely operational grounds maintenance and falls outside the dried floral products category the code describes, suggesting either a misclassification in the county's tagging or a disconnect between the code's nominal scope and how procurement offices are deploying it.

The Fulton County ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10, seeks a qualified landscape maintenance contractor for the 0.95-acre South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, with the contract running through December 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE firms account for 34.71% availability in the applicable construction work category and FBE firms 11.45%. This code shows little relevant recent activity for dried floral procurement and appears underutilized or misapplied by the issuing body.
