UNSPSC 10402418: Dried cut corrida rose

Dried cut bloom of the corrida variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402418 Dried cut corrida rose is a Commodity code that nominally names a single floral product line, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a substantial mismatch. The single recent opportunity on record — Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden — concerns ongoing quarterly grounds care, plant trimming, mulching, irrigation system management, and habitat installation at a 0.95-acre facility, not procurement of dried cut flowers. The scope includes selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; seasonal plantings and color changes in garden beds and urn planters; integrated pest management; irrigation startup and shutdown with filter cleaning and valve adjustment; pressure washing of hardscape; and installation and signage of bat boxes and bird houses. The work is solicited as an ITB with a contract term running from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment.

The code shows minimal recent activity — the single Georgia opportunity represents the current visible pipeline. Fulton County is the sole recent issuing body on record under this code. Bids are due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. Because the code's abstract name (dried cut corrida rose) bears no relationship to the landscape maintenance services being actively solicited, pursuit decisions should rest on the actual work scope — grounds care and horticultural maintenance — rather than the code title itself.
