UNSPSC 10417706: Dried cut forsythia variabilis

Dried cut bloom of the variabilis variety of forsythia

UNSPSC 10417706 Dried cut forsythia variabilis is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with actual procurement patterns. The two recent opportunities posted under this code show no connection to dried cut forsythia or horticultural materials of any kind. Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring RFP solicits invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland ecology services, and regulatory compliance monitoring — live plant material and ecological restoration work, not dried cut specimens. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies RFP seeks discount-priced hobby and recreational materials for parks and recreation programming, including supplies for after-school and community programs. Neither opportunity involves dried cut forsythia or botanicals in any dried or preserved form. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the state and local procurement taxonomy.

The environmental services opportunity from Pinellas County (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) represents the only solicitation with plausible proximity to botanical procurement, though it emphasizes live native plant installation and site maintenance across wetlands and stormwater facilities rather than dried materials. Columbus, Georgia issued its arts and craft supplies RFP (RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) through its Finance Department for the Department of Parks and Recreation, seeking multi-vendor awards with annual purchasing volume between $30,000 and $50,000. Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Georgia in the recent record. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing dried botanical materials or forsythia products in state and local procurement.
