UNSPSC 10412213: Dried cut novi belgii hot pink aster

Dried cut bloom of the novi belgii hot pink variety of asters

UNSPSC 10412213 Dried cut novi belgii hot pink aster is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single dried-flower product line, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect floral commodity purchases. Instead, Fulton County, Georgia has posted landscape maintenance and operational services for a demonstration garden under ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026. The scope covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application; pressure washing; seasonal plantings in garden beds and urns; integrated pest management; irrigation system maintenance (startup, shutdown, filter cleaning, valve and head adjustment); and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment. The engagement is with a single county government entity procuring services for a 0.95-acre facility through a traditional sealed-bid process.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, with Fulton County as the identified buyer. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The ITB requires bidders to be responsive and responsible, evaluated on price and technical qualifications, with past-performance and financial-capability review. Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability are mandatory. Certified MBE and FBE firms represent 34.71% and 11.45% availability respectively for the construction work category. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the scope. This code shows minimal recent activity, and the single opportunity posted does not align with the dried-flower commodity the code nominally describes.
