UNSPSC 10424701: Dried cut purple liatris

Dried cut bloom of purple variety of liatrises

UNSPSC 10424701 Dried cut purple liatris is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried floral product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not reflect purchases of dried cut flowers. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for environmental and recreational services and supplies that bear no connection to the botanical scope of the code name. Pinellas County's February 2026 RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services seeks native plant installation, invasive species removal, and wetland ecology expertise across a five-year contract period — work that involves living plants and ecological restoration, not dried cut flowers. Columbus Consolidated Government's February 2026 RFB for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies targets items for parks and recreation programming, again unrelated to dried floral products. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic activity is concentrated in two states — Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus) — based on the available recent opportunities. Issuing bodies include a county government and a consolidated city-county jurisdiction, both with environmental and recreation mandates. The Pinellas County RFP, posted February 26, 2026 with a July 29, 2025 response date, seeks environmental services on an as-needed basis with SBE participation provisions and potential contract extensions. The Columbus RFB, posted February 4, 2026 with a February 25, 2026 deadline, targets annual supplies in the $30,000 to $50,000 range with multiple-vendor award intent and cooperative-purchasing fallback language. Neither solicitation reflects procurement of dried cut purple liatris or dried botanical products of any kind, signaling a significant mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited.
