UNSPSC 10402037: Dried cut verdi rose

Dried cut bloom of the verdi variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402037 Dried cut verdi rose is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers landscape maintenance materials and services for ornamental gardens, as evidenced by recent solicitations emphasizing seasonal plantings, mulch applications, and horticultural care. The code's nominal scope — dried preserved flowers — does not align with the actual work being purchased. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 solicitation under this code requests comprehensive quarterly maintenance of a demonstration garden complex including pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation system management, and interpretive signage installation. The scope includes selective pruning, weeding, mulch and pine straw application, pressure washing, integrated pest management, and seasonal color changes in planters and beds. This activity indicates the code is being used to classify landscape maintenance and horticultural services rather than cut-flower materials, suggesting a potential mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual procurement need.

Fulton County is the only issuing body represented in recent opportunities under this code. The single recent solicitation is an ITB (Invitation to Trade Bids) due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board approval. Bidders must hold a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect credential and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The county has identified certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a $1 million per-occurrence minimum, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The code shows minimal recent activity, with this single Georgia opportunity as the only documented state and local procurement under it in the current window.
