UNSPSC 10401949: Dried cut secret garden rose

Dried cut bloom of the secret garden variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401949 Dried cut secret garden rose is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within floristry and garden supplies; however, state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal commodity classification. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services—involves comprehensive quarterly garden maintenance for pollinator and rain gardens, including native plant pruning, weeding, mulch application, irrigation system management, pest management, and seasonal plantings across a 0.95-acre site. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This solicitation is categorized under the dried cut secret garden rose code despite being fundamentally a landscape maintenance services contract rather than a product procurement for dried floral materials or cut flowers.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole recent issuing body identified under this code, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. A site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the scope. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE firms represent 34.71% availability and FBE firms 11.45% for this construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a data classification error in the state or local procurement system or minimal actual procurement of dried cut secret garden roses under this code in state and local contracting.
