UNSPSC 10402709: Dried cut capriccio rose

Dried cut bloom of the capriccio variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402709 Dried cut capriccio rose is a Commodity code that nominally covers horticultural products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of dried floral material. Instead, Fulton County, Georgia posted a landscape maintenance services solicitation tagged to this code, requesting quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden. The work involves selective pruning, weeding, mulching, pressure washing, irrigation system maintenance, seasonal plantings, and integrated pest management across a 0.95-acre scope. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and meet water-efficiency and wildlife habitat standards. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's intended commodity scope and the actual services being procured.

Fulton County is the sole recent issuer identified under this code. The landscape maintenance ITB (26ITB1652296A-KM) closed November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. The Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect requirement and emphasis on native plantings and water-efficient design suggest the county prioritizes specialized horticultural and environmental expertise over commodity suppliers. MBE and FBE participation targets are 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category.
