UNSPSC 10402427: Dried cut friendship rose

Dried cut bloom of the friendship variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402427 Dried cut friendship rose is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement with minimal recent activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—bears no connection to dried cut flowers or floral products. The solicitation covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, weeding, mulching, irrigation system management, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage and wildlife structures. The scope requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried floral products) and the work actually being procured (landscape maintenance services) suggests the code does not capture meaningful state and local purchasing activity in its intended category.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body represented in recent opportunities under this code. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Bids are due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The contract goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE and FBE availability is noted at 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively. No other state or local jurisdictions show recent solicitations under this code, and no pattern of activity emerges to indicate where dried cut flower procurement occurs within the state and local market.
