UNSPSC 10402476: Dried cut top secret rose

Dried cut bloom of the top secret variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402476 Dried cut top secret rose is a Commodity code that represents a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried cut flowers or floral products; instead, the sole recent posting is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, a 0.95-acre site encompassing pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and employee break areas. The work entails quarterly maintenance including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application (pine straw in pollinator gardens, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens); pressure washing of benches and pathways; seasonal color changes in garden beds and urn planters; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup, shutdown, and maintenance with filter cleaning and valve adjustment; installation and signage for bat boxes and bird houses; and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, demonstrate water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat competency, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment. This code shows little relevant recent activity and does not appear to track floristry, floral design, or cut-flower procurement under its current UNSPSC assignment.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole identified issuing body in the recent-opportunities block. The ITB closing date is November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4, 2026 and a recommended site visit on November 10, 2026. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals (2028, 2029) subject to Board of Commissioners approval. 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. The county reports certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for the construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Bids remain irrevocable for 60 days.
