UNSPSC 10412210: Dried cut japanese red aster

Dried cut bloom of the japanese red variety of asters

UNSPSC 10412210 Dried cut Japanese red aster is a Commodity code that captures decorative and craft plant materials used in state and local procurement, though recent opportunities reveal minimal activity directly tied to this specific dried-plant commodity. The two most recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show substantial divergence from dried floral materials. Pinellas County (Florida) posted an RFP on February 26, 2026 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering a five-year period focused on invasive species removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory-compliant site maintenance across environmental mitigation sites and stormwater facilities — work centered on live plants and ecological restoration rather than dried decorative botanicals. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issued a separate Request for Bids on February 4, 2026 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis, with annual purchasing volume estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple divisions — a general procurement vehicle that may incidentally include dried botanicals but does not identify them as a primary procurement target.

Activity under this code appears limited and geographically sparse. The two recent opportunities span Florida and Georgia, with no additional state or local jurisdictions visible in the available record. The Pinellas County RFP (response deadline July 29, 2025) requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications and emphasizes native plant species aligned with wetland restoration rather than decorative or dried plant materials; the Columbus RFB (response deadline February 25, 2026) is a broad arts and craft supplies procurement that does not foreground dried botanicals. No issuing body appears as a repeat buyer under this code in the recent opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried cut Japanese red aster) and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may not be the primary vehicle for state and local procurement of dried floral materials, or that jurisdictions seldom tag dried-plant orders with this specific commodity designation.
