UNSPSC 10402854: Dried cut red collection spray rose

Dried cut bloom of the red collection spray variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402854 Dried cut red collection spray rose is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not align with the procurement opportunities being solicited under it. 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 — involves quarterly grounds upkeep, irrigation system management, mulching, pressure washing, and interpretive signage installation at a 0.95-acre facility. The scope includes selective pruning of native plantings, weeding, debris removal, integrated pest management, and seasonal color changes in garden beds and planters. This work has no connection to the procurement or supply of dried cut red collection spray roses, which the code nominally describes.

The disconnect between the code taxonomy and the actual work being procured signals that either the opportunity was miscoded or the code itself sees minimal relevant state and local activity. Fulton County, Georgia posted the ITB with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, and requires bidders to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, and responsibility factors such as bidder experience, technical qualifications, and past performance. The county identified MBE availability at 34.71% for this construction work category. Without additional recent opportunities clearly aligned with dried cut floral product procurement, the code presents unclear signals for business development purposes under state and local procurement.
