UNSPSC 10401914: Dried cut excalibur rose

Dried cut bloom of the excalibur variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401914 Dried cut excalibur rose is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single opportunity in the dataset—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—solicits ongoing grounds care, irrigation management, seasonal plantings, and integrated pest management for pollinator and rain gardens, not dried floral products. The work involves quarterly maintenance of native plantings, mulching, pressure washing, pest management, and habitat installations (bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage) across a 0.95-acre demonstration site. The scope reflects specialized horticultural and ecological stewardship rather than procurement of cut or dried botanical materials.

Fulton County is the only recent issuer identified under this code. The ITB is open to Georgia-licensed landscape architects with demonstrated expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards; the contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and bids are due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements, and identifies 34.71% availability of certified MBE firms and 11.45% FBE firms in the applicable construction work category. The mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope (dried cut flowers) and the actual work being procured signals either a data-entry error in the opportunity record or misalignment in the taxonomy coding applied by the issuing body—making this code an unreliable indicator of current state and local procurement activity in dried floral products.
