UNSPSC 10401916: Dried cut first lady rose

Dried cut bloom of the first lady variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401916 Dried cut first lady rose is a Commodity code that represents ornamental dried floral products. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The two opportunities posted under this code — Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring services contract (RFP 250628RFP) and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies bid (RFB No. 26-0014) — involve native plant installation and recreational craft materials respectively, neither of which involves dried cut roses or ornamental florals as traditionally understood. The environmental services opportunity focuses on invasive species removal, native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites, and compliance monitoring across a five-year term; the arts and craft supplies bid seeks discounted bulk sourcing of general hobby and recreational items for parks and recreation programs on an annual $30,000 to $50,000 budget. These represent cataloging mismatches rather than substantive activity in the dried cut floral market.

The code shows activity in Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), with no clear geographic concentration. Issuing bodies include a county environmental services department and a municipal parks and recreation division purchasing function. The Pinellas County opportunity, posted February 26, 2026, with a July 29, 2025 response date (indicating a corrected or historical entry), targets certified environmental contractors for a five-year as-needed contract with SBE participation thresholds and two optional 12-month extensions. The Columbus opportunity, posted February 4, 2026, with a February 25, 2026 bid deadline, seeks multiple vendors for discounted catalog pricing on craft supplies, awarded to multiple vendors with two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals. The code appears to capture little relevant procurement activity in dried florals; state and local governments soliciting under it are pursuing environmental restoration and general recreational supplies rather than ornamental dried flowers.
