UNSPSC 10416900: Dried cut matthiola incana or stock flowers

Dried cut blooms of matthiola incana stock flowers

UNSPSC 10416900 Dried cut matthiola incana or stock flowers is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses landscape maintenance services for demonstration gardens, including quarterly care of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning and weeding of native plantings, mulch and pine straw application, irrigation system management, and seasonal plant color changes. The single recent opportunity on record shows county governments as the primary issuing bodies under this code, specifically Fulton County, Georgia, which is soliciting comprehensive landscape maintenance for its South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden. The scope reflects a mismatch between the code's nominal focus on dried cut flowers and the actual work being procured — landscaping and horticultural maintenance rather than cut-flower supply or procurement.

The bidder must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, with a recommended site visit on November 10. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability.
