UNSPSC 10402612: Dried cut bridal akito rose

Dried cut bloom of the bridal akito variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402612 Dried cut bridal akito rose is a Commodity code that nominally addresses floristry inputs, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance services—describes ongoing grounds care work (quarterly pruning, weeding, mulching, irrigation system maintenance, pollinator and rain garden stewardship, and seasonal plantings) rather than acquisition of cut flowers or floral materials. The scope reflects environmental stewardship and grounds management rather than dried floristry inputs, suggesting either a coding error in the issuing body's procurement system or a very narrow application of the commodity code that does not reflect actual market demand.

The sole recent opportunity comes from Fulton County, a Georgia county government, with responses due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. The contractor must hold a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect credential on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029 subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Certified MBE firm availability is noted at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this category. The code shows no other recent activity in state and local procurement; this single opportunity does not establish a pattern of demand for dried cut flowers or related commodity inputs.
