UNSPSC 10424401: Dried cut orange gomphrena globosa

Dried cut bloom of globosa orange variety of gomphrenas

UNSPSC 10424401 Dried cut orange gomphrena globosa is a Commodity code that represents a specialized horticultural product with limited relevance to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a dried ornamental flower variety, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not purchase gomphrena globosa or similar dried flowers. Instead, Pinellas County (Florida) is soliciting environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services focused on native plant installation and invasive species removal across wetlands and stormwater facilities, while Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) is purchasing general arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks and recreation programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a broad misclassification of commodity categories by issuing bodies.

The two recent opportunities show activity across different issuing-body types and geographies. Pinellas County's RFP (due July 29, 2025) targets firms with environmental certifications and wetland expertise for a five-year, as-needed contract with potential two 12-month extensions; the solicitation includes SBE participation provisions with a work assignment not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government's Request for Bids No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) seeks multiple vendors to supply $30,000 to $50,000 in annual arts and craft supplies with two-year initial terms and three optional one-year renewals. The code shows no demonstrated recent activity aligned with dried cut flower procurement and does not warrant pursuit under its nominal scope.
