UNSPSC 10401948: Dried cut rosita vendela rose

Dried cut bloom of the rosita vendela variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401948 Dried cut rosita vendela rose is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect a significant mismatch: Pinellas County is soliciting environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services—including invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland ecology work—while Columbus Consolidated Government is procuring arts and craft and recreational supplies. Neither solicitation centers on dried cut rosemary or cut-flower inventory, the actual product category the code describes. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catchall for plant-related or horticultural materials and services, even when the work being bought deviates substantially from the code's discrete commodity definition.

Pinellas County represents the only substantive recent opportunity with environmental or horticultural relevance. The county released an RFP on June 30, 2025, for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services across a five-year contract term (2025–2030) covering mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater treatment ponds such as McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and McKay Creek, with proposals due July 29, 2025. Contractors must hold State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and demonstrate expertise in native plant installation and wetland ecology; the county included a comprehensive listing of 150 native plant species and structured pricing by professional role (field technicians, environmental scientists, project managers). An SBE set-aside applies to work not exceeding $100,000 per assignment. The Columbus opportunity—an annual arts and craft supplies contract with an expected annual value of $30,000 to $50,000—is unrelated to the code's plant or floral scope and suggests inconsistent code assignment across jurisdictions. Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent postings.
