UNSPSC 10402174: Dried cut sombrero rose

Dried cut bloom of the sombrero variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402174 Dried cut sombrero rose is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for this specific botanical product. The two recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procurement of dried sombrero rose flowers; instead, they reflect broader environmental services and arts-and-craft supplies purchasing. Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and maintenance contract emphasizes native plant installation, invasive species removal, and wetland monitoring across stormwater facilities and parks—work requiring aquatic applicator certifications and ecological expertise but not targeting dried floral products. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts, craft, and hobby supplies procurement covers departmental support for parks and recreation programs on an as-needed basis, with annual volume in the $30,000 to $50,000 range, and does not specify botanical or dried-flower components. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities as a taxonomic misclassification rather than reflecting genuine demand for dried sombrero rose material.

Without additional recent solicitations specifically requesting dried cut sombrero rose, the code does not signal active state and local procurement interest in this commodity. Firms considering this code should verify current demand through direct outreach to parks departments, environmental agencies, and facilities management offices in Florida, Georgia, and other jurisdictions that have historically purchased native plant materials and botanical products, but should not rely on recent posted opportunities under this UNSPSC category to validate market activity.
