UNSPSC 10426005: Dried cut bird of paradise

Dried cut bloom of birdof paradise flowers

UNSPSC 10426005 Dried cut bird of paradise is a Commodity code that nominally names a single floral product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of that item. Instead, the code appears in opportunities for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland and stormwater site management) and for arts and craft and recreational supplies (after-school programs, community recreation). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either broad misclassification in state and local systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for horticultural and supply-related activities. Issuing bodies include county environmental departments and municipal parks and recreation divisions, though the sample is too small to establish a pattern of repeat buyers or a dominant issuing-body type.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County, Florida posted an environmental services RFP in June 2025 (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) seeking native plant installation, exotic invasive removal, and regulatory-compliant monitoring and reporting across wetlands and stormwater sites over a five-year contract period with two optional 12-month extensions; the scope included State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and aquatic herbicide certifications, and an SBE work assignment threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued a Request for Bids (RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) for arts and craft and recreational supplies supporting after-school and community recreation programs, with expected annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000 and a two-year base term plus three optional one-year renewals. The code shows minimal recent activity and poor alignment with its stated commodity definition.
