UNSPSC 10431503: Dried cut focus pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the focus variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10431503 Dried cut focus pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single ornamental flower product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The two most recent solicitations involve environmental planting and maintenance services (Pinellas County, Florida) and arts and craft supplies procurement (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia) — neither of which centers on dried pompon chrysanthemums or dried flowers as a product category. The code appears to capture a mismatch between the taxonomy label and the work actually being bought at the state and local level, suggesting that purchasing offices are either mis-tagging opportunities or that the code is being used as a catch-all for broader horticultural or supplies-related work. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county environmental departments and municipal parks and recreation divisions seeking multi-year service and supply contracts.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County released an RFP (250628RFP) on June 30, 2025, seeking Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services for a five-year term (2025–2030) with a response deadline of July 29, 2025, covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland monitoring at sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park; the work requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 (PE70662NONST2026000000093) on February 4, 2026, with a response deadline of February 25, 2026, to supply arts and craft and recreational materials to the Department of Parks and Recreation on an as-needed basis with an estimated annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000 across a two-year term with three optional renewal periods. The code shows limited recent activity and poor alignment between its stated commodity scope and the opportunities currently posted under it.
