UNSPSC 10423101: Dried cut red cestrum

Dried cut bloom of red variety of cestrums

UNSPSC 10423101 Dried cut red cestrum is a Commodity code that nominally covers preserved ornamental plant material, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch between the code's title and the work actually being solicited. The two posted opportunities tagged with this code involve environmental restoration services and arts and craft supplies—neither of which involves dried cut red cestrum or similar preserved plant products. Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and monitoring contract targets invasive species removal, native plant installation, and wetland ecosystem management across stormwater facilities and parks, while Columbus Consolidated Government's annual arts and craft procurement seeks supplies for recreation and after-school programs. The code shows minimal alignment with its stated scope.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed and driven by specialized end-user demand rather than commodity procurement volume. Recent opportunities appear in Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus), with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity. Pinellas County issued an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services with a response deadline of July 29, 2025, seeking qualified environmental contractors with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications to manage five-year service contracts with potential extensions on an as-needed basis. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 for arts and craft and hobby supplies with a response deadline of February 25, 2026, anticipating annual purchases of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple divisions and awarding to multiple vendors. The code's low recent activity and poor alignment between its nominal scope and actual procurement suggests limited commercial opportunity in state and local markets under this classification.
