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 describes preserved floral products, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The single recent opportunity on record—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves live plant care, seasonal plantings, irrigation maintenance, and habitat installation across pollinator and rain gardens, not dried cut flowers. The work includes quarterly maintenance of native grasses, shrubs, and perennials; selective pruning; mulching with pine straw and hardwood; pressure washing; integrated pest management; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. Contractors must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging of the opportunity or a mismatch between the code's intended scope and how it is being applied in practice.

Fulton County, Georgia represents the primary recent issuing body under this code. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM solicitation closed November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4, 2026 and a recommended site visit on November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Certified MBE firms represent 34.71% availability and FBE firms 11.45% for the construction work category. Without additional opportunities tagged to this code in the recent activity block, the code shows limited current procurement volume under its nominal scope.
