UNSPSC 10402228: Dried cut oriental curiosa rose

Dried cut bloom of the oriental curiosa variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402228 Dried cut oriental curiosa rose is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific horticultural product—dried ornamental rose varieties—yet the two recent opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially from this scope. Pinellas County (Florida) is soliciting environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services for a five-year contract addressing invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and site maintenance at stormwater and surface water sites; the solicitation specifies a comprehensive planting list of 150 native plant species and requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) is procuring arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for its Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis, supporting after-school programs, community schools, seniors, and special-populations divisions with an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000. Neither opportunity involves the procurement of dried cut flowers or botanical specimens as a product category. The code shows little activity genuinely aligned with dried ornamental rose sales to state or local jurisdictions.

The geographic spread evident in these records spans Florida and Georgia, with no additional recent opportunities supporting broader regional characterization. Pinellas County's environmental services RFP was posted February 26, 2026 with a proposal due date of July 29, 2025 (an internal date inconsistency in the source), structured as a five-year contract with labor-rate-based pricing across field technician, environmental scientist, senior environmental scientist, and project manager roles, and including a Small Business Enterprise participation threshold of $100,000 work assignments. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies RFB No. 26-0014 was posted February 4, 2026 with responses due February 25, 2026 by 2:30 PM Eastern Time, seeking discount-based pricing from multiple vendors capable of ten-day order fulfillment on a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals. The tagging of these opportunities under UNSPSC 10402228 appears to reflect miscoding rather than genuine procurement of dried cut oriental curiosa roses.
