UNSPSC 10402836: Dried cut macarena spray rose

Dried cut bloom of the macarena spray variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402836 Dried cut macarena spray rose is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried floral product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect retail or decorative floral purchasing. Instead, the single recent opportunity posted under the code involves landscape maintenance services for demonstration gardens, including seasonal plantings, mulching, irrigation management, and habitat installation — work fundamentally misaligned with dried-flower procurement. The scope includes quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens with selective pruning, weeding, debris removal, integrated pest management, and installation of interpretive signage and wildlife structures such as bat boxes and bird houses. Labor, materials, and equipment are contractor-furnished. Issuing bodies appear limited to special-purpose or county-managed facilities focused on environmental demonstration and education.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the sole recent opportunity under this code: ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; MBE and FBE availability is reported at 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried decorative flowers) and the landscape maintenance work actually being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly applied to the opportunity or that state and local procurement data under this code does not reflect typical activity.
