UNSPSC 10418025: Dried cut subtomentosa rudbeckia

Dried cut bloom of the subtomentosa variety of rudbeckia

UNSPSC 10418025 Dried cut subtomentosa rudbeckia is a Commodity code nominally covering a specific dried ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not involve procurement of dried rudbeckia itself. Instead, the activity reflects environmental services and recreational supplies purchasing that do not align with the code's botanical scope. Pinellas County, Florida issued an RFP in February 2026 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (2025–2030), seeking contractors to manage invasive and exotic plant removal, install native plants, and monitor wetlands and stormwater sites — work that involves living native plant material, not dried cut specimens. Separately, Columbus Consolidated Government issued a Request for Bids in February 2026 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for its Parks and Recreation Department, an entirely different commodity class. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement signals that this Commodity code sees little relevant activity in current state and local markets.

The two recent opportunities show geographic activity limited to Florida and Georgia, with issuing bodies comprising a county government (Pinellas) and a consolidated municipal government (Columbus). The Pinellas County RFP, due July 29, 2025, targets five-year environmental management contracts with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 work-assignment threshold; it requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. The Columbus Consolidated Government RFB, due February 25, 2026, targets $30,000–$50,000 in annual arts and craft supplies with a two-year initial term and three one-year renewal options. Neither opportunity aligns with procurement of dried ornamental plants. No evidence in the recent record supports active demand for dried rudbeckia under this Commodity code in state and local procurement.
