UNSPSC 10426060: Dried cut nigella damascena or love in the mist

Dried cut bloom of nigella damascena or love in the mist flowers

UNSPSC 10426060 Dried cut nigella damascena or love in the mist is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with what is actually being solicited under this classification. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden—involves ongoing grounds care, horticultural labor, and facility upkeep rather than the procurement or supply of dried botanical specimens. The scope covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning of native plants, mulch and pine straw application, pressure washing, irrigation system management, and installation of wildlife infrastructure such as bat boxes and bird houses. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and integrated pest management. This is a service contract, not a product purchase aligned with the code's nominal commodity definition.

The Fulton County opportunity, posted October 16, 2026 with bids due November 30, 2026, represents the only recent state and local activity identified under this code. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; MBE and FBE utilization targets are 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively. The mismatch between the code's stated scope (dried cut flowers for supply or resale) and the actual solicitation suggests either miscoding by Fulton County or minimal legitimate procurement activity under this Commodity code within state and local markets.
