UNSPSC 10402339: Dried cut high and rich rose

Dried cut bloom of the high and rich variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402339 Dried cut high and rich rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes dried floral products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves live plant care, garden maintenance, and horticultural services rather than dried cut flowers. The scope includes quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials, integrated pest management, irrigation system management, seasonal plantings, mulch application, and installation of wildlife habitat features such as bat boxes and bird houses. 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. This is grounds maintenance work, not floral supply procurement, suggesting either a data-entry error in the coding assignment or a fundamental mismatch between the code's intended scope and its application in this instance.

Geographic activity under this code appears limited to Georgia. Fulton County issued the primary recent opportunity, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. A site visit on November 10, 2026 is recommended to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE firm availability is 34.71% and FBE firm availability is 11.45% for this construction work category. Given the single recent opportunity and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code shows little relevant recent state and local activity in its intended category.
