UNSPSC 10402168: Dried cut queensday rose

Dried cut bloom of the queensday variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402168 Dried cut queensday rose is a Commodity code that designates floristry and ornamental plant materials, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it reflects landscape maintenance and horticultural services rather than dried floral goods. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for landscape maintenance at the South Fulton Demonstration Garden—covering quarterly care of pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation system management, mulching, pressure washing, and seasonal color changes—shows a material disconnect between the code's nominal scope (dried cut flowers for retail or event use) and what jurisdictions are actually buying under this designation. The issuing body is a county government pursuing grounds and habitat maintenance work that would more typically fall under landscape construction or grounds-keeping codes. Insurance requirements, MBE/FBE set-aside data (34.71% certified MBE availability, 11.45% FBE), and a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect staffing requirement signal that this is horticultural contract work, not floristry supply.

The single recent opportunity shows limited activity under this code in state and local procurement. Fulton County's South Fulton Demonstration Garden ITB (Solicitation Number PE66096NONST2026000000219) closes November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference November 4 and recommended site visit November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The code shows no recent activity in other states or jurisdictions in the source. Given the mismatch between the Commodity's documented scope and the landscape services actually being procured, this code appears to reflect a tagging anomaly rather than an active procurement category for dried cut queensday rose or similar floristry inputs at the state and local level.
