UNSPSC 10402479: Dried cut xantia rose

Dried cut bloom of the xantia variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402479 Dried cut xantia rose is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code describe environmental planting and maintenance services and arts and craft supplies for parks and recreation — neither of which involves dried cut flowers or xantia roses of any kind. Pinellas County's five-year environmental contract calls for invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance work; Columbus Consolidated Government seeks general arts and craft and recreational supplies for parks departments. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity scope.

Pinellas County in Florida issued an RFP on June 30, 2025 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (2025–2030) with a proposal due date of July 29, 2025, structured around ecological restoration at stormwater ponds and wetland sites and requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued a Request for Bids on February 4, 2026 for arts and craft and recreational supplies (RFB No. 26-0014) with responses due February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM, seeking annual purchases of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple parks and recreation divisions on a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals. The disconnect between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being bought suggests this code may be misapplied in the recent solicitation records or that procurement offices are using it as a catch-all for miscellaneous botanical or supplies work.
