UNSPSC 10431616: Dried cut elite white pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the elite white variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10431616 Dried cut elite white pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally covers cut flowers for retail sale or arrangement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect environmental restoration and general recreation supplies rather than floral products. Pinellas County, Florida has solicited environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services for a five-year term (2025–2030) involving invasive plant removal, native plant installation at wetlands and stormwater sites, and regulatory compliance reporting—a scope that involves plants but centers on ecological management rather than cut-flower procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia simultaneously issued a request for bids for arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support parks and recreation programming. The code shows little alignment with its stated commodity definition across recent opportunities; the environmental planting contract is the more substantial engagement, with native species installation as the operational focus, while the arts-and-craft bid addresses general recreation materials. Issuing bodies include county and municipal governments rather than florists, wholesalers, or landscape design firms typical of cut-flower commerce.

Pinellas County's RFP (Solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications, with field technician and environmental scientist labor rates, a 150-species native plant list, and SBE participation thresholds. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) targets $30,000 to $50,000 in annual procurement across five departments on a two-year contract with three optional annual renewals. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either tagging error or that this Commodity code does not reliably surface cut-flower procurement at state and local level. Florida and Georgia show recent activity, but neither opportunity reflects the dried cut chrysanthemum market the code purports to address.
