UNSPSC 10402601: Dried cut absolut rose

Dried cut bloom of the absolut variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402601 Dried cut absolut rose is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses landscape maintenance services for specialized demonstration gardens, including seasonal planting, mulching, irrigation system management, and integrated pest management rather than the literal florals the code name suggests. The single recent opportunity posted under this code involves Fulton County, Georgia soliciting comprehensive grounds maintenance for pollinator and rain gardens at a demonstration facility, indicating that state and local buyers are tagging horticultural and landscape stewardship work to this floral commodity code despite the semantic mismatch. The scope of work includes selective pruning of native plants, weeding and debris removal, quarterly pressure washing of hardscapes, installation and maintenance of wildlife habitat features (bat boxes and bird houses), irrigation system startup and seasonal shutdown with component servicing, and color rotations in planting beds—services that require Georgia-licensed landscape architects on staff and demonstrated expertise in water-efficient and ecological landscaping standards.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the only recent opportunity identified under this code, an ITB (26ITB1652296A-KM) for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4 and a site visit recommended for November 10. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval, and covers a 0.95-acre scope with quarterly maintenance requirements. The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with this single Fulton County solicitation representing the only documented opportunity; the close alignment between the code number and the actual services being bought is questionable, suggesting either a data-entry error or an outlier categorization that does not reflect typical use of this Commodity code in state and local purchasing.
