UNSPSC 10432003: Dried cut athos pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the athos variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10432003 Dried cut athos pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers landscape maintenance services for demonstration and operational gardens, including plant care, seasonal color installation, irrigation management, and habitat support. The code's nominal scope — dried cut chrysanthemum flowers — does not match the work actually being solicited. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services is the only recent opportunity on record under this code. The county is seeking a Georgia-licensed landscape contractor to manage quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens across a 0.95-acre site, including selective pruning of native plants, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood in rain gardens), seasonal plantings in two garden beds and two large urn planters, pressure washing, integrated pest management, irrigation system maintenance with spring startup and winter shutdown cycles, and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment and employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, with demonstrated knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability at minimum $1 million per occurrence, and Professional E&O Liability.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole recent issuing body under the code. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM carries a response deadline of November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4 and a site visit recommended for 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 goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Certified MBE and FBE availability are noted at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for the construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (dried cut chrysanthemum flowers) and the work being procured (landscape maintenance services) suggests either a cataloging error or a narrow recent-activity dataset; pursuit depends on clarifying the code's actual use in state and local systems.
