UNSPSC 10426068: Dried cut pink lace flower or didiscus

Dried cut bloom of pink lace flower or didiscus flowers

UNSPSC 10426068 Dried cut pink lace flower or didiscus is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried floral product, yet recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows little alignment with dried ornamental botanicals. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—an environmental planting and monitoring contract from Pinellas County and an arts and craft supplies procurement from Columbus Consolidated Government—do not meaningfully involve dried pink lace flower or the floristry and event decoration work the code name suggests. Pinellas County's five-year environmental services contract centers on invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland restoration, and regulatory monitoring across specific mitigation sites and stormwater facilities, work that falls outside the dried floral commodity scope. Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement seeks general hobby and recreational materials for municipal parks and recreation programs on an as-needed basis, spanning an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000, which similarly does not target dried botanicals as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies are a county environmental division and a municipal parks department—both state and local agencies with broad operational mandates rather than specialized floral or event purchasing units.

Geographic activity appears limited to Florida and Georgia based on the recent opportunities identified. Pinellas County (Florida) posted the environmental planting RFP on June 30, 2025, with proposals due July 29, 2025, as a five-year contract with potential two 12-month extensions, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and featuring a $100,000 SBE participation threshold. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, for a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals, seeking multiple award vendors capable of ten-day order fulfillment on discounted catalog pricing. The code appears to show little current procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
