UNSPSC 10426017: Dried cut cleome spinosa

Dried cut bloom of cleome spinosa flowers

UNSPSC 10426017 Dried cut cleome spinosa, a Commodity code, nominally covers a specific ornamental or botanical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect that narrow scope. Pinellas County (Florida) issued an RFP in June 2025 for comprehensive environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services across wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances—a five-year contract centered on invasive and exotic plant removal and native plant installation rather than the procurement of dried cleome spinosa itself. A second opportunity from Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) in February 2026 sought bids for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation—work entirely unrelated to either dried cleome spinosa or environmental restoration. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of county-level environmental agencies and municipal parks departments; Pinellas County's environmental services work appears to be a substantial, ongoing commitment with potential for two 12-month extensions beyond the initial five-year term.

The code shows recent activity in Florida and Georgia. The Pinellas County RFP (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) is the most representative opportunity for environmental services, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications, with SBE participation provisions and a work assignment not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 per assignment. The Columbus procurement (RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026) falls outside the code's nominal scope and appears to be a data-entry or tagging error. The code as currently tagged shows limited alignment with the typical scope of dried botanical products; opportunities under this code warrant verification against actual UNSPSC coding practice, as the Pinellas environmental contract suggests possible mis-categorization at the source.
