UNSPSC 10425003: Dried cut orange marigold

Dried cut bloom of orange variety of marigolds

UNSPSC 10425003 Dried cut orange marigold is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within ornamental plant materials, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal substantive use. The two posted opportunities associated with the code diverge significantly from its nominal scope. Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring contract (RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) centers on invasive plant removal, native species installation, and wetland ecosystem restoration across multiple county sites, with no reference to dried cut marigold or similar ornamental cut-flower products. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies contract (RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) procures general recreational craft materials for parks and recreation programming, similarly unrelated to the dried marigold commodity. Neither solicitation demonstrates actual procurement demand for the product this code nominally describes.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia based on these two recent postings, though the geographic signal is weak given the code's limited activity and the mismatch between the solicitations and the commodity's scope. Pinellas County, a repeat environmental services procurer, seeks contractors with wetland ecology expertise and specific applicator certifications for a five-year contract with potential extensions. Columbus Consolidated Government structures its arts and craft purchase as an annual blanket contract with multiple-vendor awards and renewal options. The absence of relevant recent opportunities specifically requesting dried cut orange marigold suggests this code sees little to no active state and local procurement demand, making it unlikely to represent a material revenue opportunity despite the broader activity in plant materials and environmental services.
