UNSPSC 10402165: Dried cut papaya rose

Dried cut bloom of the papaya variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402165 Dried cut papaya rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific agricultural product, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the code's title. Fulton County, Georgia's recent ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, posted October 16, 2026 with bids due November 30, 2026, was tagged under this code but solicits landscape maintenance services for a demonstration garden—including seasonal plant color changes, mulching, irrigation system management, pollinator and rain garden upkeep, and integrated pest management across a 0.95-acre site. The scope requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific dried botanical product) and the actual work being procured (broad landscape maintenance services) indicates the code may be applied inconsistently or incorrectly in state and local procurement systems.

The single opportunity in the recent record comes from Fulton County, Georgia, a county-level issuing body. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals contingent on Board of Commissioners approval. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility factors (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Certified MBE firm availability is reported at 34.71% and FBE firm availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4 and a recommended site visit for November 10. Without additional opportunities in the recent record, the code shows limited, possibly mislabeled activity in state and local procurement.
