UNSPSC 10402436: Dried cut lady in red rose

Dried cut bloom of the lady in red variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402436 Dried cut lady in red rose is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific floral product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with dried-rose purchasing. Instead, Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for comprehensive landscape maintenance services at a demonstration garden facility, including pollinator and rain garden upkeep, seasonal plantings, irrigation system management, and habitat installation. The scope spans quarterly maintenance of established perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees; mulching and weeding; pressure washing; integrated pest management; and interpretive signage and wildlife-box installation. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, demonstrate proficiency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals.

Fulton County is the primary recent issuer under this code. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden (Solicitation PE66096NONST2026000000219) closed November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and site visit recommended for November 10. The scope covers a 0.95-acre facility with two rain gardens, two pollinator gardens with walkable trails, and ornamental planting areas. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE firms represent 34.71% availability and FBE firms 11.45% for this construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, $1 million Commercial General Liability minimum per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. The mismatch between the code's nominal product description (dried-cut roses) and the actual landscape maintenance services solicited suggests this code assignment may not reflect the true commodity or service family in play.
