UNSPSC 10402117: Dried cut colandro rose

Dried cut bloom of the colandro variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402117 Dried cut colandro rose, a Commodity code, nominally addresses ornamental dried flowers but shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The single recent solicitation under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden Landscape services—involves live landscape maintenance, not dried cut flowers. The scope covers 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 in pollinator gardens, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens); pressure washing of benches and pathways; irrigation system startup, adjustment, and shutdown; seasonal plant color changes; integrated pest management; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrates knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This appears to be a code-tagging mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity for dried colandro rose.

Fulton County represents the only identifiable recent buyer under this code. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029, subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Bids are due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment, carry Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, and comply with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE and FBE availability are noted at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category. The code shows no documented activity beyond this single Georgia opportunity and does not meaningfully track state and local procurement for dried cut ornamental flowers.
