UNSPSC 10417802: Dried cut cinereum geranium

Dried cut bloom of the cinereum variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10417802 Dried cut cinereum geranium is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific horticultural product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a substantial mismatch with that narrow scope. The two most recent solicitations show no procurement of dried cut cinereum geranium plants. Instead, Pinellas County is seeking environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services for wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances over a five-year term, with work focused on invasive species removal, native plant installation, and ecological restoration—a comprehensive environmental management contract rather than a dried flower supply. Columbus Consolidated Government is simultaneously procuring arts and craft and recreational supplies through its Parks and Recreation Department on an as-needed basis, an activity equally unrelated to the code's stated commodity. The issuing bodies span county and municipal governments with responsibility for environmental and recreational services, but the actual work being bought does not align with dried cut cinereum geranium procurement.

The geographic spread evident in the recent opportunities covers Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government). Pinellas County's environmental services RFP, released June 30, 2025, with proposals due July 29, 2025, requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and includes a native plant list of 150 species for ecological restoration work. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supply RFB, with bids due February 25, 2026, seeks discount pricing from multiple vendors to support approximately $30,000 to $50,000 in annual purchasing across parks departments. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; opportunities posted under this code are plainly unrelated to dried cut cinerarium geranium sourcing.
