UNSPSC 10412100: Dried cut asclepias

Dried cut blooms of asclepias

UNSPSC 10412100 Dried cut asclepias is a Class code covering botanical materials — specifically dried milkweed stems and related plant matter — procured by state and local governments for environmental restoration, ecological monitoring, and recreational programming. Recent state and local solicitations show this code being applied to two distinct procurement contexts that diverge significantly from the nominal botanical description. Pinellas County solicited environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services for wetland and stormwater mitigation sites, where dried plant materials would support native ecosystem restoration alongside live plant installation and invasive species removal. Columbus Consolidated Government, separately, solicited arts and craft and recreational supplies for park and recreation programming. The issuing bodies range from county environmental agencies to municipal parks departments, each with different operational drivers — ecological compliance and regulatory reporting in Pinellas County, and routine supply replenishment for after-school and senior programs in Columbus.

The code shows limited recent activity concentrated in the Southeast. Pinellas County, Florida posted an RFP on February 26, 2026 for environmental services with a July 29, 2025 due date — a response deadline that has passed — seeking qualified contractors with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator credentials and aquatic pesticide certifications for a five-year contract spanning 2025 through 2030 to manage native plant installation and site monitoring across multiple wetlands and stormwater facilities. Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia posted an RFB on February 4, 2026 with a February 25, 2026 deadline for arts and craft and hobby supplies serving parks and recreation divisions on an as-needed basis, with an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 and a two-year term with optional three-year renewals. The code shows narrow recent geographic concentration and light activity overall; firms pursuing this classification should verify whether state and local procurement offices are applying it consistently to dried botanical materials or whether it continues to capture adjacent services that may be recoded.
