UNSPSC 10401953: Dried cut sweet avalanche rose

Dried cut bloom of the sweet avalanche variety of rose

UNSPSC 10401953 Dried cut sweet avalanche rose is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, captures landscape maintenance services for ornamental gardens and plantings rather than the dried floral product its name suggests. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden illustrates the actual scope: quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application (pine straw and uncolored hardwood); pressure washing of hardscape; seasonal plant color changes in designated beds and planters; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup, shutdown, and component maintenance with filter cleaning and valve adjustment; installation and signage of bat boxes and bird houses; and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The contractor must supply all labor, materials, and equipment, employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This code appears to see activity primarily from county governments managing public demonstration or environmental facilities rather than from state departments, municipalities, or school districts.

The single recent opportunity identified under this code is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, posted October 16, 2026, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029. Substantial completion is required within 270 calendar days. Award is to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a minimum $1 million per occurrence limit, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. MBE availability stands at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. The limited recent activity under this code suggests it may be a misclassification or specialized niche within state and local procurement.
