UNSPSC 10402502: Dried cut cream sweetheart rose

Dried cut bloom of the cream sweetheart variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402502 Dried cut cream sweetheart rose is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—does not involve dried cut flowers or sweethearts roses. Instead, the work covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulching with pine straw and uncolored hardwood mulch; pressure washing; seasonal plant color changes; integrated pest management; irrigation system maintenance (startup, shutdown, filter cleaning, valve and head adjustment, and hose inspection); installation of bat boxes and bird houses; and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Fulton County is soliciting this work as the issuing body, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026.

The code shows no clear recent activity aligned with dried cut sweetheart roses or floriculture procurement at the state and local level. The single opportunity in the source block is a landscape maintenance contract unrelated to cut-flower commodity supply, suggesting either a coding error in the state or local procurement system or minimal current demand for dried cut-rose purchases under this specific code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited limits the utility of this record for business development professionals pursuing horticultural product supply contracts.
