UNSPSC 10402312: Dried cut brooke rose

Dried cut bloom of the brooke variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402312 Dried cut brooke rose (Commodity) represents ornamental plant materials procured by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation activity under this code does not align with the commodity's nominal scope. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—due November 30, 2026—covers live plant care, irrigation system management, mulching, pressure washing, and seasonal plantings across pollinator and rain gardens rather than dried cut flowers. The work involves quarterly maintenance of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; selective pruning and weeding; application of pine straw and hardwood mulch; irrigation startup, shutdown, and repair; installation of bat boxes and bird houses; and integrated pest management, with contract term running through December 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment. Issuing bodies under this code appear limited to county and municipal parks and facility-management departments handling grounds maintenance and horticultural services.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, with Fulton County's solicitation representing a county-level issuing body. The ITB evaluation criteria prioritize lowest responsive and responsible bids assessed on price, responsiveness, bidder experience and technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. MBE and FBE set-aside availability stands at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for the construction work category. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, with a site visit recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. This code warrants caution—the single recent opportunity involves landscape maintenance of live plantings rather than dried cut flowers, suggesting potential UNSPSC tagging inconsistency or a mismatch between the commodity's intent and actual state and local procurement practice.
