UNSPSC 10402410: Dried cut carrera rose

Dried cut bloom of the carrera variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402410 Dried cut carrera rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific horticultural product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect a significant mismatch between the code designation and the work actually being procured. The two most recent opportunities show no alignment with dried cut flowers; instead, they span environmental restoration services and general arts and craft supplies. Pinellas County issued an RFP in June 2025 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland and stormwater pond management, and environmental monitoring and reporting across a five-year term—work that requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications and involves live planting and ecological restoration rather than dried floral products. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division concurrently issued a Request for Bids for arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Parks and Recreation Department on an as-needed basis—annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000 across afterschool programs, community schools, and recreation divisions. Neither opportunity involves dried cut carrera roses or any dried floral commodity. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of the two opportunities reflects activity in Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus), but the absence of dried floral procurement signals suggests this code does not meaningfully capture state and local buying patterns for the product it nominally describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes unless forthcoming opportunities demonstrate a correction in the tagging or a genuine shift toward floral supply contracts. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation content indicates either data-entry error at the issuing bodies or wholesale abandonment of the code for its intended commodity category.
