UNSPSC 10426038: Dried cut helenium

Dried cut bloom of helenium flowers

UNSPSC 10426038 Dried cut helenium, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried cut helenium flowers—a specialty botanical input—but the two most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no material purchase of dried helenium itself. Pinellas County's February 2026 RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) seeks native plant installation and invasive species removal across wetlands and stormwater ponds, with a comprehensive 150-species native plant list that does not identify dried helenium as a specified input. Columbus Consolidated Government's February 2026 RFB No. 26-0014 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies targets consumables for parks and recreation programming, with no reference to botanical or horticultural inputs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either coding error or extremely sparse, unrepresentative recent activity under this Commodity code.

Recent state and local opportunities under this code span Florida and Georgia, but neither opportunity appears to involve procurement of dried cut helenium. Pinellas County (Florida) is soliciting environmental management services on a five-year contract basis with potential extensions, structured as an RFP with an SBE participation threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) is seeking arts and craft supplies on an as-needed basis, structured as an RFB with a two-year term and three optional renewal periods, with an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000. No additional opportunities under this Commodity code appear in the source. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether recent solicitation tagging reflects actual demand for dried helenium or represents data-entry anomalies; the current activity signals do not support a pursue decision.
