UNSPSC 10402741: Dried cut hummer rose

Dried cut bloom of the hummer variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402741 Dried cut hummer rose (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden Landscape services—involves ongoing landscape maintenance for pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage with bat boxes and bird houses. The scope is substantially misaligned with dried cut flowers; the county is procuring landscape maintenance labor and materials rather than a horticultural commodity. Issuing bodies pursuing work under this code would typically include county parks and facilities departments, municipalities with demonstration or botanical gardens, and special-purpose districts managing conservation or educational landscape projects.

Fulton County, Georgia represents the only identifiable recent issuer. The ITB response date is November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 for the 0.95-acre demonstration garden. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The county requires bidders to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. MBE and FBE participation is available at 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively. The mismatch between the commodity code (dried cut flowers) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance services) suggests this code may not be the primary vehicle for state and local procurement of horticultural products or services; practitioners should verify code alignment when pursuing opportunities in this category.
