UNSPSC 10402509: Dried cut white sweetheart rose

Dried cut bloom of the white sweetheart variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402509 Dried cut white sweetheart rose is a Commodity code that nominally covers florist-grade cut flowers, but state and local governments do not procure this product under this code. The most recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, posted October 16, 2026 with bids due November 30, 2026—involves ongoing quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, and seasonal plantings. The scope of work centers on native plant stewardship, integrated pest management, and habitat installation (bat boxes and bird houses) rather than procurement of cut flowers. The county requires bidders to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards.

The tagging of this landscaping and grounds maintenance work to a dried cut flower commodity code appears to be a classification error in the state procurement system. No recent state or local opportunities reflect actual purchases of dried cut white sweetheart roses for events, floral arrangements, or other common public-sector florist applications. The single opportunity in the recent block is a landscape contractor engagement with a term running through December 31, 2027 and optional renewals, evaluated on price and contractor qualifications including past performance and financial capability. MBE and FBE participation goals are set at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively. Until procurement offices begin correctly tagging floral purchases to this code, or until state and local governments demonstrate material demand for dried cut flowers, this code presents no actionable market signal.
