UNSPSC 10402453: Dried cut red diamond rose

Dried cut bloom of the red diamond variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402453 Dried cut red diamond rose is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a specific horticultural product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect dried florals—instead, it captures landscape maintenance services for established gardens, including quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens with native plantings, irrigation system management, mulching, pruning, pressure washing, and seasonal plantings. State and local governments use this code to solicit integrated grounds-maintenance contracts where the horticultural knowledge and plant management are the core deliverables. Issuing bodies include county governments pursuing comprehensive landscape stewardship for demonstration or educational facilities. The code shows a notable mismatch between its nominal scope (dried cut flowers) and actual procurement activity (living plant and garden maintenance); this divergence suggests either a data-entry anomaly in the state or local procurement system or a coding convention that bundles horticultural services under florals taxonomy.

Fulton County, Georgia is the only recent issuing body visible in the data, having posted an ITB (26ITB1652296A-KM) on October 16, 2026 for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden with a response deadline of November 30, 2026. The scope covers two rain gardens and two pollinator gardens across a 0.95-acre site, with quarterly maintenance including selective pruning of native plants, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood in rain gardens), pressure washing, seasonal color changes in planting beds, integrated pest management, irrigation startup and shutdown with filter cleaning and valve adjustment, and installation of bat and bird houses with interpretive signage. The contract term runs through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, bidder experience, technical qualifications, past performance, and compliance with Georgia E-Verify requirements; bidders must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff. MBE certification is available at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45% for this work category.
