UNSPSC 10441500: Dried cut single bloom carnations

Dried cut blooms of carnations that have one bloom per stem

UNSPSC 10441500 Dried cut single bloom carnations is a Class code that nominally describes a narrow floriculture commodity, yet the recent state and local contracting activity under this code does not align with that scope. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden—covering quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation systems, mulching, pressure washing, and seasonal color rotations—reflects horticultural services and grounds care rather than the purchase or supply of dried cut flowers. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunity posting or that the code is being used in a broader sense by the issuing body to encompass landscape and garden-related work. The available recent-opportunities block contains only this single solicitation, indicating minimal or inconsistent activity under the code in state and local procurement.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the sole recent opportunity under this code, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. The county required bidders to employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Contract performance runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The solicitation identified certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. Given the single posting and the substantial divergence between the code's nominal commodity (dried cut carnations) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance services), this code shows little relevant recent activity for traditional floriculture procurement at the state and local level.
