UNSPSC 10417207: Dried cut eryngium supernova thistle

Dried cut bloom of the eryngium supernova variety of thistles

UNSPSC 10417207 Dried cut eryngium supernova thistle is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried floral product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve environmental planting and maintenance services in one case and general arts and craft supplies in the other — neither of which concerns dried thistle procurement. Pinellas County's five-year environmental services RFP emphasizes native plant installation, invasive species removal, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance across multiple restoration sites; Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supply contract covers general recreational materials for parks and recreation programming. Neither solicitation references eryngium or dried floral products, suggesting the code may be misapplied in these instances or that state and local procurement offices are using the taxonomy inconsistently.

Activity under this code is sparse and geographically limited to recent opportunities in Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus). The Pinellas County Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP, posted February 26, 2026 with a due date of July 29, 2025, seeks qualified environmental contractors with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications; it includes a small-business-enterprise participation threshold of $100,000. The Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 for arts and craft supplies, posted February 4, 2026 with responses due February 25, 2026, targets annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple parks and recreation divisions on an as-needed basis. Neither opportunity appears to justify pursuit under this UNSPSC code absent clarification from the issuing bodies about why dried thistle was selected as the classification.
