UNSPSC 10402364: Dried cut osadia rose

Dried cut bloom of the osadia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402364 Dried cut osadia rose is a Commodity code that nominally covers preserved floral materials, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch — the single recent opportunity posted is a landscape maintenance contract, not a purchase of dried flowers. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden solicits quarterly landscape upkeep across pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native plants, mulch application, pressure washing, irrigation system maintenance and seasonal adjustments, integrated pest management, and installation of wildlife-support structures such as bat boxes and bird houses. The contract requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and emphasizes water-efficient practices and habitat standards. The issuing body is a county government, and the work is being tagged under a dried-flower commodity code without apparent justification based on scope.

The single recent opportunity originates from Fulton County, Georgia, with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, and a pre-bid conference on November 4 and recommended site visit on November 10. The contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The contractor must carry Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability insurance. Certified MBE and FBE participation targets are 34.71% and 11.45% respectively. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity description; firms in the dried-flower supply or wholesale floral market will find limited signal here, and the landscape-maintenance classification appears to reflect a tagging error rather than genuine procurement activity in that product line.
