UNSPSC 10424400: Dried cut gomphrena globosa or globe amaranth

Dried cut blooms of gomphrena globosa

UNSPSC 10424400 Dried cut gomphrena globosa or globe amaranth is a Class code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. State and local governments rarely solicit dried globe amaranth as a standalone commodity through formal RFP or RFQ processes. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a significant mismatch: Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and wetland management RFP centers on native plant installation, invasive species removal, and ecological restoration across stormwater treatment sites and wetlands—services requiring licensed applicators and environmental monitoring expertise, not dried decorative flowers. Columbus Consolidated Government's request for bids on arts and craft and recreational supplies covers bulk procurement of hobby materials for parks-department programming, including supplies for after-school and community recreation programs, which does not target gomphrena globosa specifically. Neither solicitation reflects actual procurement demand for the dried cut flower product the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity, based on the available opportunities, is limited to Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus). The code does not show meaningful state and local procurement activity targeting dried globe amaranth as a line item. Buyers evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should recognize that the recent opportunities are tagged incorrectly—they represent environmental services and general craft supplies, respectively—and that the code itself reflects low or no current demand in the state and local market for this specific dried flower product.
