UNSPSC 10418010: Dried cut heliopsidis rudbeckia

Dried cut bloom of the heliopsidis variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10418010 Dried cut heliopsidis rudbeckia is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not map to active procurement activity aligned with its nominal botanical scope. The two recent opportunities posted under this code—Pinellas County's environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services contract and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement—bear no substantive relationship to dried cut flower materials or the product category the code describes. Pinellas County's solicitation centers on invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland ecology, and environmental restoration across stormwater ponds and surface water conveyances, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government's procurement targets arts and craft supplies in bulk for parks and recreation programming.

The geographic activity visible under this code spans Florida (Pinellas County, west central) and Georgia (Columbus), but neither opportunity reflects genuine demand for the commodity the code nominates. Pinellas County issued an RFP with a due date of July 29, 2025, for a five-year environmental services contract on an as-needed basis, with potential two 12-month extensions and an SBE work assignment threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFB (Request for Bids No. 26-0014) with a due date of February 25, 2026, for annual arts and craft supplies estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 across a two-year base term with three optional one-year renewals. The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity for dried cut flowers or botanical materials; the misclassification suggests either indexing error in the underlying opportunity data or intentional cross-tagging by the issuing bodies that does not reflect the work's true commodity nature.
