UNSPSC 10402435: Dried cut hocus pocus rose

Dried cut bloom of the hocus pocus variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402435 Dried cut hocus pocus rose is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag landscape maintenance and horticultural services involving cut and dried ornamental plant materials, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows limited alignment with the nominal scope. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden Landscape maintenance (ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026) represents the available posted opportunity and covers quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens); pressure washing of benches and pathways; seasonal plant color changes; integrated pest management; irrigation system maintenance with spring startup and winter shutdown; and installation of interpretive signage with bat boxes and bird houses. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval, and award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability at $1 million per occurrence minimum, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability.

The recent activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia, with Fulton County representing the sole identifiable recent opportunity. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, with a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The bidding pool will include firms pursuing MBE and FBE certifications, with certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category in the procurement jurisdiction. Bids remain irrevocable for 60 days following submission. The scope diverges from the code's nominal framing around dried cut ornamental materials; the actual work is landscape maintenance and horticulture management at an operational demonstration garden.
