UNSPSC 10412208: Dried cut japanese pink aster

Dried cut bloom of the japanese pink variety of asters

UNSPSC 10412208 Dried cut Japanese pink aster is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single dried-flower product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear little substantive connection to that scope. The two most recent solicitations tagged to this code—one for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services and one for arts and craft and recreational supplies—fall outside the dried-flower taxonomy entirely. The mismatch suggests that the code sees minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement, or that issuing bodies are applying it incorrectly to unrelated work.

Pinellas County, Florida posted an RFP on June 30, 2025 (due July 29, 2025) for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services, a five-year contract for invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory permit-compliant reporting at sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued a Request for Bids on February 4, 2026 (due February 25, 2026) for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support the Parks and Recreation Department on an as-needed basis, with estimated annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000. Neither opportunity involves the procurement of dried flowers or botanical products aligned with the Commodity code's nominal definition. State and local buyers do not appear to be actively sourcing dried cut Japanese pink aster under this code.
