UNSPSC 10417820: Dried cut sanguineum or bloody geranium

Dried cut bloom of the sanguineum or bloody variety of geranium

UNSPSC 10417820 Dried cut sanguineum or bloody geranium is a Commodity code that nominally covers preserved ornamental plant material, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little activity aligned with that narrow scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code are a five-year environmental management and native plant installation contract from Pinellas County, Florida, and an arts-and-craft supply procurement from Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia. Neither solicitation involves dried cut geranium or similar preserved botanical products; instead, they cover living native plant installation and ecosystem restoration services, and generic craft supplies respectively. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are either misclassifying environmental planting and craft-supply work under this code, or the code is not capturing actual procurement activity in its intended product category.

Pinellas County's Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP (due July 29, 2025) represents the more substantive opportunity, seeking qualified contractors for invasive plant removal, native species installation across mitigation sites and wetlands, and environmental monitoring with specific certifications in aquatic applicator licensing and wetland ecology. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts-and-craft supplies RFB (due February 25, 2026) targets annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 across the Department of Parks and Recreation divisions. Activity under this code is limited to these two jurisdictions with no clear geographic concentration or pattern of repeat buying. The code shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity; prospective vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
