UNSPSC 10425402: Dried cut lavender phlox

Dried cut bloom of lavender phlox variety of flowers

UNSPSC 10425402 Dried cut lavender phlox is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader environmental planting and ecological restoration work rather than as a standalone product line. Recent solicitations under this code reflect demand for native plant materials in the context of comprehensive wetland mitigation, invasive species removal, and stormwater management — not dried ornamental flowers for craft or decorative use. The code sees limited recent activity, and the few opportunities posted show a heavy tilt toward environmental remediation contractors and landscape services firms rather than nurseries or horticultural suppliers. Issuing bodies include county environmental departments and municipal parks divisions; Pinellas County in Florida has posted the most concrete recent opportunity in this category.

Pinellas County issued RFP 250628RFP on February 26, 2026, seeking Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services for a five-year contract term through 2030, with proposal due July 29, 2025 at 3:00 pm. The county's scope includes installation of native plants selected from a list of 150 species, invasive and exotic plant removal, site maintenance, and environmental monitoring across mitigation sites, wetlands, stormwater treatment ponds, and surface water conveyances including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond, Eagle Lake Park, and McKay Creek. Contractors must hold State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and demonstrate expertise in wetland ecology. A second, functionally unrelated opportunity — Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB 26-0014 for arts and craft supplies to the Parks and Recreation Department — appears to be a classification error and carries no relevance to dried lavender phlox procurement. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall; opportunities are concentrated in Florida and Georgia but do not establish a pattern of sustained or high-volume procurement under this specific commodity designation.
