UNSPSC 10402340: Dried cut hot lady rose

Dried cut bloom of the hot lady variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402340 Dried cut hot lady rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes florist materials, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows substantial mismatch with that taxonomy label. Fulton County, Georgia posted a landscape maintenance ITB in October 2026 that is tagged to this code despite covering horticultural grounds-keeping work—quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, weeding, mulch application, pressure washing, irrigation system management, and seasonal plantings. The scope includes installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage and integrated pest management across a 0.95-acre demonstration garden facility. The work is being solicited from landscape contractors meeting Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect staffing requirements and demonstrating water-efficient and native-habitat knowledge. This particular opportunity does not reflect dried cut flowers procurement; the code appears to have been applied as a catch-all botanical or horticultural category rather than its stated commodity definition.

Fulton County, Georgia is the only recent issuing body visible under this code in the source data. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden closes November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals (2028, 2029). Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility including bidder experience and past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. MBE availability for this construction work category stands at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45%.
