UNSPSC 10431909: Dried cut bradford spider chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the bradford variety of spider chrysanthemum

UNSPSC 10431909 Dried cut bradford spider chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific dried floral product, but the two recent opportunities posted under this code involve environmental planting and restoration services on one hand and general arts and craft supplies on the other — neither of which directly involves dried cut chrysanthemums or similar dried floral goods. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how these opportunities were tagged in the source system or that this code is used as a catch-all placeholder for miscellaneous plant and supply procurement. State and local governments appear to use this code inconsistently, with Pinellas County (Florida) issuing a five-year environmental services RFP focused on native plant installation and wetland management, and Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issuing an annual contract RFB for broad arts, craft, and recreational supplies to support parks and recreation programming.

The geographic activity spans Florida and Georgia based on the recent postings, though neither opportunity actually purchases dried cut chrysanthemums or closely related dried floral products as the code name implies. Pinellas County's Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services RFP (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) seeks comprehensive environmental management across mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater facilities, with contract value structured on labor rates for field technicians and environmental scientists rather than commodity purchase pricing. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) procures arts and craft and recreational supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation with an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple vendors on a two-year base plus three optional one-year renewals. The code shows minimal activity directly aligned with dried cut floral goods and warrants review of the actual commodity classification used by these issuing bodies before pursuing work under this designation.
