Dried cut bloom of the rubicon spray variety of rose

UNSPSC 10402861 Dried cut rubicon spray rose is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement activity encompasses landscape maintenance and horticultural services for public demonstration gardens and botanical facilities. The Fulton County, Georgia ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden (due November 30, 2026) illustrates the work: quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens), pressure washing of hardscape, irrigation system management including seasonal startup and shutdown with filter cleaning and valve adjustment, seasonal plant color rotation in garden beds and urn planters, integrated pest management, installation and signage of bat boxes and bird houses, and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Issuing bodies include county governments and special-purpose districts managing public green space; Fulton County appears as a repeat buyer of structured landscape maintenance under cooperative or individual contracts. The contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and the scope covers a 0.95-acre site.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, with Fulton County the primary documented buyer. The Fulton County ITB requires submission by November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a site visit recommended for November 10. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE and FBE availability is reported at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. The source shows limited recent activity under this specific code; the single documented opportunity reflects public-sector investment in demonstration gardens and native plant stewardship rather than commercial floristry or supply of cut flowers.
