UNSPSC 10421704: Dried cut white astilbe

Dried cut bloom of white variety of astilbes

UNSPSC 10421704 Dried cut white astilbe is a Commodity code that maps narrowly to a specific horticultural product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a broader procurement reality: state and local governments are buying environmental restoration and landscaping services where dried cut white astilbe may appear as one line item among many native plant species, rather than as a standalone product purchase. The Pinellas County RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) names a comprehensive plant listing of 150 native plant species and seeks firms to manage invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, site maintenance, and environmental monitoring across wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances. A second opportunity from Columbus Consolidated Government (RFB No. 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) requests arts and craft and hobby supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis. The Pinellas solicitation reflects the actual work state and local procurement offices associate with this code—environmental restoration contracts requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications—while the Columbus RFB appears misaligned with the commodity's scope and does not represent typical activity under the code.

Pinellas County, Florida, is the standout recent buyer under this code. The Pinellas RFP is structured as a five-year contract (2025–2030) on an as-needed basis with potential two 12-month extensions, requiring labor rates for field technicians, environmental scientists, senior environmental scientists, and project managers, with a Small Business Enterprise work-assignment threshold of $100,000. No other recent opportunities clearly tied to dried cut white astilbe procurement appear in the source. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity, suggesting that direct procurement of this specific plant material—separate from broader environmental services contracts—is not a significant line item in state and local spending patterns. Buyers pursuing this code should assess whether their capability aligns with environmental restoration service delivery (as Pinellas demonstrates) rather than with product-only distribution of horticultural materials.
