UNSPSC 10416501: Dried cut annual scabiosa

Dried cut bloom of the annual variety of scabiosas

UNSPSC 10416501 Dried cut annual scabiosa is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific ornamental dried flower product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to that scope. The two most recent solicitations — Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring services and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies — involve neither dried scabiosa nor cut flowers of any kind. Pinellas County is procuring comprehensive environmental management services including invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory reporting across mitigation sites, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances, with labor rates for field technicians, environmental scientists, and project managers. Columbus Consolidated Government's Parks and Recreation Department is seeking discount-priced arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for after-school programs, community schools, and recreation divisions on an as-needed basis. The issuing bodies are a county government and a city consolidated government, neither of which appears to be purchasing ornamental dried flowers or products within the code's nominal scope.

The geographic spread includes Florida and Georgia based on recent activity. Pinellas County (Florida) posted its RFP on February 26, 2026, with a response deadline of July 29, 2025 (an apparent date error in the source), and requires bidders to hold State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications; the contract runs five years with potential two 12-month extensions and includes SBE participation provisions with a work assignment not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issued its Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with responses due February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, seeking vendors capable of shipping within ten days and providing discounted pricing from catalog stock; the contract spans two years with three optional renewal periods, and the annual purchasing volume is estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple divisions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity scope.
