UNSPSC 10431640: Dried cut tina pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the tina variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10431640 Dried cut tina pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses landscape maintenance and horticultural services for demonstration and pollinator gardens at county facilities, though the recent solicitation activity shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope (cut flower inventory) and the actual work being procured. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden reflects the code's real-world application: the county is sourcing quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation systems, and interpretive signage installations. The scope includes selective pruning, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator gardens, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens), pressure washing, seasonal plant color changes in dedicated beds and planters, integrated pest management, irrigation system startup and shutdown with valve and filter maintenance, and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with signage. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Services run from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals contingent on Board of Commissioners approval.

The South Fulton ITB represents the only recent opportunity visible under this code and is based in Georgia. Fulton County is soliciting as an ITB with bids due November 30, 2026, following a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, bidder experience and technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify. Certified MBE and FBE firms show availability of 34.71% and 11.45%, respectively, for this construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity; the tagging of a landscape-maintenance ITB under a dried-cut-flower commodity code suggests possible classification drift or data-entry variance in Fulton County's procurement system.
