UNSPSC 10402479: Dried cut xantia rose

Dried cut bloom of the xantia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402479 Dried cut xantia rose, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity for landscape maintenance and horticultural services, though recent opportunities show limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The single recent solicitation indexed under this code involves landscape maintenance contracting rather than the supply or specification of dried botanical materials. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden seeks a contractor to provide quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native plants, mulching, weeding, irrigation system management, pest management, and seasonal plantings. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrates the county's emphasis on water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Landscape maintenance contracting of this type—seasonal color installation, native plant care, and integrated pest management—represents the practical scope of work being solicited under this code in state and local procurement, despite the code's reference to dried cut flowers.

Fulton County, Georgia is the primary recent issuer and will award the maintenance contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by November 30, 2026. The county's procurement environment includes significant availability of certified MBE and FBE firms (34.71% and 11.45%, respectively, for construction work in this category). Geographic activity under this code appears limited to Georgia based on available records. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Bidders must also comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify verification. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope and gain insight into the specialized maintenance demands of the pollinator and rain garden environment.
