UNSPSC 10401912: Dried cut engagement rose

Dried cut bloom of the engagement variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401912 Dried cut engagement rose is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves ongoing quarterly grounds care, irrigation system management, plant material handling, and habitat installation at a demonstration garden facility. The work includes selective pruning, weeding, mulching with pine straw and uncolored hardwood materials, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage with bat boxes and bird houses. The solicitation does not reference dried cut roses or floral products; instead, it focuses on living perennials, native grasses, trees, shrubs, and facility hardscape maintenance. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Availability of certified MBE firms stands at 34.71% and FBE firms at 11.45% for this construction work category.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the only recent opportunity identified under this code on October 16, 2026, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4. A site visit to the 0.95-acre demonstration garden is recommended for November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried cut engagement roses) and the actual work being solicited (comprehensive landscape and grounds maintenance) suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity for floriculture or cut-flower procurement at the state and local level.
