UNSPSC 10418013: Dried cut laciniata rudbeckia

Dried cut bloom of the laciniata variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10418013 Dried cut laciniata rudbeckia, a Commodity code, covers ornamental dried plant material used in environmental restoration and ecological management projects by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code inconsistently; the most concrete recent opportunity tagged to it—Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services contract—focuses on native plant installation and invasive species removal at wetlands and stormwater sites rather than dried cut flowers. A second opportunity under the code, Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement, shows no connection to rudbeckia or dried botanicals at all, suggesting classification misalignment in the source data. The environmental services work at Pinellas County involves installation of native plant species (150 species listed in the contract scope) and ecosystem restoration rather than procurement of processed dried plant material.

Pinellas County in Florida is the only issuing body with a substantive recent opportunity clearly related to environmental and horticultural work. The Columbus Consolidated Government opportunity, while posted in February 2026, addresses general craft and hobby supplies unrelated to this code's nominal scope. Pinellas County released its RFP on June 30, 2025, with proposals due July 29, 2025, and the contract runs five years (2025–2030) with potential two 12-month extensions. The solicitation emphasizes compliance certifications (State Certified Licensed Public Applicator, Aquatic Category 5A applicator) and includes an SBE participation provision with a $100,000 work-assignment threshold. This code shows limited recent activity aligned with its dried-plant nominal scope and warrants close attention to actual solicitation language rather than code classification when evaluating pursuit decisions.
