UNSPSC 10414826: Dried cut red dyed hydrangea

Dried cut bloom of the red dyed variety of hydrangeas

UNSPSC 10414826 Dried cut red dyed hydrangea is a Commodity code that captures decorative and craft floral materials used in state and local government operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct purchasing. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code reveal a significant mismatch: Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring services contract targets native plant installation, wetland restoration, and invasive species removal across regulatory compliance sites—work unrelated to dried decorative florals—while Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement for the Department of Parks and Recreation spans a broad range of hobby and recreational materials without specifying dried botanicals as a line item. State and local governments do source dried cut flowers and similar botanical supplies through general arts and craft purchasing vehicles and facilities management contracts, but the recent opportunities posted under this specific code do not reflect substantive current demand for dried red dyed hydrangea or comparable products.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Pinellas County, Florida (environmental services, RFP, due July 29, 2025) and Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia (arts and craft supplies, IFB, due February 25, 2026). The Pinellas County opportunity is structured as a five-year environmental services contract with as-needed ordering and carries SBE participation provisions with a work-assignment not-to-exceed of $100,000 per assignment. The Columbus opportunity is a two-year annual contract with three one-year renewal options, expecting to purchase $30,000 to $50,000 annually in craft supplies across parks and recreation divisions, with award to multiple vendors and access to comparable cooperative contracts if pricing is lower. Neither solicitation explicitly foregrounds dried hydrangea or similar dried floral products, suggesting the code may be underutilized or that state and local governments source these materials through broader commodity or facilities management contracts outside the recent activity visible here.
