UNSPSC 10441507: Dried cut single bloom hot pink carnation

Dried cut bloom of the hot pink variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10441507 Dried cut single bloom hot pink carnation is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific horticultural product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the code's literal scope. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB on October 16, 2026, for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—a contract covering quarterly upkeep of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, weeding, mulch application, pressure washing, irrigation system maintenance, and integrated pest management. The scope encompasses native perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees across a 0.95-acre site, along with installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, demonstrate expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and provide all labor, materials, and equipment under a term running through December 31, 2027, with optional renewals through 2029. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the single posted opportunity under this Commodity code involves landscape maintenance services rather than procurement or sourcing of dried cut carnations.

Fulton County issued the ITB with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, and scheduled a pre-bid conference for November 4 and a recommended site visit for November 10. 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 ($1 million per occurrence minimum), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. The solicitation notes MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for this construction work category. The substantial completion timeline is 270 calendar days, with final completion required within 300 calendar days.
