UNSPSC 10424700: Dried cut liatrises

Dried cut blooms of liatris

UNSPSC 10424700 Dried cut liatrises is a Class code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a horticultural commodity—dried cut liatrises (blazing star flowers)—yet the two most recent opportunities tagged under it show no connection to that product line. The Pinellas County RFP released June 30, 2025, solicits environmental planting, invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance reporting for a five-year contract (2025–2030) with two optional 12-month extensions; this is ecological restoration and site maintenance, not the supply of dried cut flowers. The Columbus Consolidated Government RFB No. 26-0014, posted February 4, 2026, procures arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies ($30,000 to $50,000 annually) for parks and recreation programming—again, not dried liatrises. The two opportunities represent fundamentally different procurement categories (environmental services and general supplies) that appear to be incorrectly tagged to this code.

The geographic spread includes Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus), but neither opportunity actually involves dried cut liatrises procurement. Pinellas County's RFP, due July 29, 2025, requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and includes SBE participation provisions with a not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 for individual work assignments. Columbus's RFB, due February 25, 2026, uses a multi-vendor award strategy with a two-year term and three optional one-year renewals. The code shows little actionable activity for vendors supplying dried cut flowers to state or local government; the tagging mismatch suggests these opportunities were miscoded at submission.
