UNSPSC 10432051: Dried cut spain flag pompon chrysanthemum

Dried cut bloom of the spain flag variety of pompon chrysanthemum flowers

UNSPSC 10432051 Dried cut spain flag pompon chrysanthemum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific ornamental flower product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch. The single recent opportunity — Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden — concerns comprehensive grounds management including seasonal plant color changes, mulching, irrigation system maintenance, and habitat installation rather than the purchase of dried-cut flowers. The scope encompasses labor-intensive quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens across a 0.95-acre site, with services including selective pruning, weeding, debris removal, pressure washing, and integrated pest management. This suggests either a coding error at the issuing body or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to a service contract that should fall under landscape maintenance rather than horticultural products.

The Fulton County opportunity, due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10, appears to be the only recent state and local procurement indexed under this code. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract 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. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. MBE availability stands at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45% for this construction work category. Given the absence of opportunities actually involving dried-cut pompon chrysanthemums and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the services being procured, this code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its intended product category.
