UNSPSC 10402430: Dried cut grand gala rose

Dried cut bloom of the grand gala variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402430 Dried cut grand gala rose is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the record—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—solicits grounds-keeping work including seasonal plantings, mulching, irrigation management, and pollinator habitat maintenance rather than dried floral products. The scope encompasses quarterly maintenance of rain gardens, pollinator gardens, and facility plantings with selective pruning, weeding, pressure washing, and integrated pest management, plus irrigation system startup and shutdown. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (dried cut roses) and the actual solicitation (landscape maintenance labor and materials) suggests either a data-entry error in the code assignment or minimal genuine procurement activity under this Commodity designation.

Fulton County, Georgia issued the sole recent opportunity under this code, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. The county encourages a site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Certified MBE and FBE availability is 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category. The code generates insufficient recent activity to characterize as a meaningful procurement category for state and local business development purposes.
