UNSPSC 10402738: Dried cut high and yellow flame rose

Dried cut bloom of the high and yellow flame variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402738 Dried cut high and yellow flame rose is a Commodity code nominally designating decorative floral materials, but recent state and local opportunities under this code show no purchasing activity aligned with the code's abstract scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—concerns grounds upkeep, horticultural labor, irrigation system management, and seasonal plantings rather than procurement of dried cut flowers. The work solicited includes quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning, mulching, pressure washing, and integrated pest management, with services spanning from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. This mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (dried decorative roses) and the actual work being bought (landscape maintenance contracting) indicates the code does not currently capture relevant state and local flower procurement activity.

Fulton County, Georgia issued the only recent opportunity identified under this code. The ITB was posted on October 16, 2026, with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, and a pre-bid conference on November 4. The County requires bidders to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. MBE and FBE set-aside availability was reported at 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively, for this construction work category. The code shows no other recent state or local procurement activity in the commodity space it nominally represents.
