UNSPSC 10441517: Dried cut single bloom red bi color carnation

Dried cut bloom of the red bi color variety of single bloom carnations

UNSPSC 10441517 Dried cut single bloom red bi color carnation is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with actual procurement activity under this designation. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—Pinellas County's environmental planting and monitoring services contract and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies procurement—bear no relationship to dried cut carnations or floriculture products. Pinellas County's five-year RFP targets invasive plant removal, native species installation, wetland restoration, and environmental monitoring across stormwater ponds and ecological mitigation sites, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and aquatic category certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB seeks general arts and craft supplies for Parks and Recreation programming, with annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal commodity scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under the classification.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus), but neither opportunity reflects procurement of dried floriculture products. Pinellas County released its environmental services RFP on June 30, 2025, with proposals due July 29, 2025, and includes SBE participation provisions with a work assignment threshold of $100,000. Columbus issued its arts and craft supplies RFB on February 4, 2026, requiring responses by February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, with contract term of two years and three optional one-year renewals. The code presents limited actionable opportunity for vendors in the dried cut flower supply business; prospective bidders should verify whether this code classification error reflects a broader miscategorization in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing pursuit resources.
