UNSPSC 10402426: Dried cut freestyle rose

Dried cut bloom of the freestyle variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402426 Dried cut freestyle rose is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The single recent opportunity—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026—solicits ongoing grounds care, irrigation management, pollinator habitat stewardship, and seasonal plantings across rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and facility planting beds. The work calls for a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and comprehensive quarterly maintenance including selective pruning, weeding, mulching with uncolored hardwood, pressure washing, integrated pest management, irrigation system startup and shutdown with filter and valve service, and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. This is operational landscape maintenance with ecological and interpretive components, not the procurement or supply of cut flowers.

The mismatch between the code name and the actual scope signals either a tagging error in the state or local procurement system or a narrow historical use of this code that does not reflect current buying patterns. Fulton County, Georgia is the only issuing body represented in recent activity under this code. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the opportunities block. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and requires Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a $1 million per-occurrence minimum, and Professional E&O Liability. MBE and FBE set-asides are available at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category. This code warrants close monitoring for accuracy before pursuing, or it should be disregarded in favor of landscape maintenance or horticultural services codes that better reflect the state and local buying activity actually occurring.
