UNSPSC 10418023: Dried cut serotina rudbeckia

Dried cut bloom of the serotina variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10418023 Dried cut serotina rudbeckia is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its narrow botanical specification. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge significantly from its nominal scope: one solicitation concerns comprehensive environmental planting, monitoring, and invasive-species removal across wetlands and stormwater sites, while the second procures general arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks departments. Neither opportunity explicitly names dried cut serotina rudbeckia or dried native plant materials as line-item purchases. The environmental planting RFP from Pinellas County does reference a comprehensive plant listing of 150 native plant species and native ecosystem management, but the solicitation scope emphasizes living plant installation, site maintenance, and ecological restoration rather than dried botanical materials. The arts and craft supplies RFQ from Columbus Consolidated Government targets discretionary program supplies for after-school and recreation divisions and bears no apparent relationship to the code's botanical focus.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus), with issuing bodies limited to county environmental or municipal recreation departments in recent postings. Pinellas County Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) seeks five-year contract services for native plant installation and site management at wetlands, stormwater treatment ponds, and surface water conveyances, with SBE participation thresholds set at $100,000 work assignments. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement (RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) targets $30,000 to $50,000 in annual spend across multiple park divisions on a two-year term with renewal options. The mismatch between the code's specification and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or limited genuine market demand for dried serotina rudbeckia in the state and local sector.
