UNSPSC 10402424: Dried cut forever young rose

Dried cut bloom of the forever young variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402424 Dried cut forever young rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes floral products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that taxonomy entry. The single recent opportunity posted under the code is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026. The scope covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, weeding, mulching, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, irrigation system management, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive wildlife signage. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This is a grounds-maintenance contract, not a purchase of dried floral products, indicating a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC code assigned and the work actually being solicited.

Fulton County is the only issuing body represented in recent activity. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval, and substantial completion is required within 270 calendar days. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, with a site visit recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. Award will be based on price and responsibility evaluation including bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, and past performance, with availability of certified MBE firms at 34.71% and FBE firms at 11.45% for this construction work category. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity and does not reflect active state and local procurement in dried cut flowers or floral commodities.
