UNSPSC 10417206: Dried cut eryngium raspberry thistle

Dried cut bloom of the eryngium raspberry variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10417206 Dried cut eryngium raspberry thistle, a Commodity code, describes ornamental dried plant material used in floral arrangements, crafts, and decorative applications. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct purchasing of this specific dried plant commodity; the code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity in the records reviewed. Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring contract (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) focuses on live native plant installation, invasive species removal, and wetland restoration rather than dried cut florals. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies contract (RFB No. 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) addresses general craft and recreational supplies for parks and recreation programming, with no mention of dried botanical materials. The issuing bodies span county environmental management departments and municipal parks and recreation divisions, but neither procurement appears to contemplate the dried thistle or similar preserved botanicals this code nominally represents.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent postings, with no broader pattern of state or local demand for dried cut eryngium raspberry thistle evident in the source material. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its commodity definition. Procurement professionals should verify whether state and local governments in their target markets actually purchase this material under this code; the recent opportunity sample suggests it is either tagged inaccurately or represents a niche market segment with minimal solicitation volume at present.
