UNSPSC 10402449: Dried cut preference rose

Dried cut bloom of the preference variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402449 Dried cut preference rose is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify landscape maintenance services involving ornamental plantings, seasonal color installations, and garden care rather than the purchase of dried cut flowers themselves. The work being solicited under this code encompasses quarterly maintenance of pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and ornamental plantings; selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; mulching with pine straw and hardwood materials; pressure washing of hardscape features; and integrated pest management. County governments emerge as the primary issuing bodies, with landscape maintenance driven by environmental stewardship initiatives and demonstration garden programs. Contractors performing this work must hold state-required licensure (Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff in the example shown) and demonstrate technical competency in water-efficient landscaping, wildlife habitat management, and native plant care. Services include seasonal plant color rotations, irrigation system maintenance and winterization, installation of interpretive signage and wildlife structures, and quarterly inventory walkthroughs with action planning.
