UNSPSC 10422900: Dried cut calendulas

Dried cut blooms of calendulas

UNSPSC 10422900 Dried cut calendulas is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged under this code—one for environmental planting, monitoring, and invasive plant removal services from Pinellas County, and one for arts and craft and recreational supplies from Columbus Consolidated Government—bear no substantive connection to dried cut calendulas as a commodity. The environmental services solicitation involves native plant installation, wetland ecology, and invasive species management requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. The Columbus procurement is for bulk arts and craft supplies, hobby materials, and recreational items purchased on an as-needed basis by the Department of Parks and Recreation divisions. Neither opportunity involves procurement of dried botanicals or horticultural materials in any form.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding on the jurisdictions' part or that this particular code sees minimal genuine activity in state and local procurement. Pinellas County issued an RFP due July 29, 2025, for a five-year environmental services contract with SBE participation provisions and a work assignment threshold of $100,000, while Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFB due February 25, 2026, for supplies with an estimated annual value of $30,000 to $50,000 over a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals. No recent opportunities in the source reflect actual dried calendula procurement by state or local agencies.
