UNSPSC 10417203: Dried cut eryngium arabian dream thistle

Dried cut bloom of the eryngium arabian dream variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10417203 Dried cut eryngium arabian dream thistle is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific horticultural product — dried thistle flowers used in floral arrangements and decorative applications. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope; instead, solicitations reflect broader environmental management and recreational supplies procurement. Pinellas County, Florida issued an RFP in June 2025 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering a five-year period, seeking contractors to manage native plant installation, invasive species removal, and wetland monitoring across multiple sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division simultaneously issued a Request for Bids in February 2026 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support the Department of Parks and Recreation's After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation divisions. The issuing bodies span county environmental management and municipal parks and recreation departments, representing the diversity of local government agencies purchasing under this categorization.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings. Pinellas County's five-year environmental services RFP (250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) represents the more substantial opportunity, structured on an as-needed basis with labor-rate pricing for field technicians, environmental scientists, and project managers; the county has incorporated SBE set-asides with a work-assignment threshold of $100,000 and requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) targets approximately $30,000 to $50,000 in annual spending across a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals. The mismatch between this code's nominal product definition and the environmental services and general recreational supplies actually being purchased suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities, or that state and local procurement offices are using broader taxonomy assignments that do not reflect the specific commodity's typical use case.
