UNSPSC 10414602: Dried cut bihai flash heliconia

Dried cut bloom of the bihai flash variety of heliconias

UNSPSC 10414602 Dried cut bihai flash heliconia is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific ornamental plant product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—an environmental planting and site restoration contract from Pinellas County, Florida, and an arts and craft supplies procurement from Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia—do not reflect procurement of dried cut heliconia or similar botanical products. Instead, the Pinellas County RFP seeks comprehensive environmental management services including invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance work across stormwater ponds and surface water conveyances, while the Columbus procurement solicits general arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks departments. The issuing-body mix includes county governments and city consolidated governments procuring broadly defined environmental or recreational supplies rather than the specific commodity the code nominally names.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings, though the geographic spread may reflect broader misclassification rather than genuine demand for the coded product. The Pinellas County RFP (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) targets firms with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and aquatic pesticide certifications for a five-year environmental services contract potentially valued at $100,000 or more in work assignments, structured with labor rates for field technicians and environmental scientists. The Columbus Consolidated Government RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) seeks multiple vendors to supply arts and craft materials on an annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000 across park divisions on a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals. Neither solicitation indicates procurement of dried cut heliconia or related botanical products, suggesting the code shows little relevant recent activity and that state and local procurement systems may be applying this commodity code inconsistently to acquisitions that fall outside its actual product scope.
