UNSPSC 10402016: Dried cut latin breeze rose

Dried cut bloom of the latin breeze variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402016 Dried cut Latin breeze rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes cut-flower products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a mismatch with its core scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026. The work involves quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; application of pine straw and uncolored hardwood mulch; pressure washing of benches and pathways; seasonal plant color changes in garden beds and urn planters; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup, shutdown, and repairs; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This solicitation does not align with the code's cut-flower product scope, suggesting the code shows little relevant recent activity for typical floriculture or dried-flower procurement.

The geographic activity is limited to Georgia based on available records. Fulton County is the issuing body on the single identified opportunity. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluated on price, responsiveness, responsibility including bidder experience and past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. The County notes certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for the construction work category. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability.
