UNSPSC 10402477: Dried cut vital rose

Dried cut bloom of the vital variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402477 Dried cut vital rose is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes dried cut rose flowers, a horticultural product with specialized applications in floral design, decoration, and botanical supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code, however, do not reflect purchases of dried roses or similar processed floral commodities. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code involve environmental planting and landscaping services (native plant installation, invasive species removal, and ecological restoration) and general arts and craft supplies for recreation programs. These solicitations represent work substantially outside the scope of dried cut flower procurement and suggest either miscoding in the issuing bodies' classification systems or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy at the local level.

The two most recent opportunities are a Pinellas County environmental management RFP (Solicitation 250628RFP, response deadline July 29, 2025) for five-year invasive plant removal and native plant installation services across wetlands and stormwater sites, and a Columbus Consolidated Government RFQ (RFB 26-0014, response deadline February 25, 2026) for arts and craft supplies for parks and recreation programs with estimated annual volume of thirty thousand to fifty thousand dollars. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with no other recent opportunities identified in the source material. The fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope and the environmental services and recreation supplies actually being solicited suggests that firms pursuing dried cut rose or specialty floral distribution should not rely on this code for market signal or opportunity identification in state and local procurement.
