UNSPSC 10402603: Dried cut akito rose

Dried cut bloom of the akito variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402603 Dried cut akito rose is a Commodity code that nominally designates preserved floral materials, yet the recent state and local activity under this code does not align with that scope. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM solicited landscape maintenance services for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden — work covering quarterly care of pollinator and rain gardens, native plant pruning, mulching, irrigation system operation, and interpretive signage installation. The work is fundamentally horticultural site stewardship and maintenance, not procurement of dried cut flowers or preserved floral products. State and local governments do not appear to be buying dried akito roses or related products under this code in recent activity.

The single recent opportunity identified under this code was issued by Fulton County, Georgia, with a response deadline of November 30, 2026. The county requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and mandates compliance with water-efficiency and wildlife habitat standards. Award criteria include price, bidder experience, technical qualifications, past performance, and E-Verify compliance, with certified MBE availability noted at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45%. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitation suggests the code assignment may reflect a data-entry or classification error rather than genuine market activity in dried cut flowers.
