UNSPSC 10432007: Dried cut candle pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the candle variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10432007 Dried cut candle pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, covers landscape maintenance and garden upkeep services rather than the dried floral product the code nominally describes. Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, due November 30, 2026, solicits comprehensive quarterly landscape maintenance including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulching with pine straw and uncolored hardwood; pressure washing of hardscape; seasonal plant color changes in garden beds and planters; integrated pest management; and irrigation system maintenance (startup, shutdown, filter cleaning, valve and head adjustment, hose inspection and repair). The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, and equipment and employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff. The scope encompasses 0.95 acres of pollinator and rain gardens with walkable trails, facility signage plantings, and employee break areas. 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 is based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluated on price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Insurance includes Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1 million minimum per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Availability of certified MBE firms is 34.71% and FBE firms is 11.45% for this construction work category.

The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity, with the Fulton County opportunity representing the sole documented solicitation. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the scope. Bids remain irrevocable for 60 days from submission. The mismatch between the code's nominal description (dried floral product) and the actual landscape services being solicited suggests this code may not be the primary vehicle for state and local procurement in this commodity area, or that the tagging reflects administrative categorization rather than end-use scope.
