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 nominally identifying a specific floral product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch. The single recent opportunity in the data — Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden — involves comprehensive grounds upkeep for pollinator and rain gardens, including native plant pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and habitat installation (bat boxes and bird houses). The scope spans quarterly maintenance cycles and covers labor, materials, and equipment for a 0.95-acre site. The code appears to have been applied to a landscape services contract rather than to procurement of dried carnation flowers themselves, suggesting either a cataloging error or an unusual use of the floral commodity code for horticultural service contracts. The work requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and familiarity with water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body in the recent opportunity set. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with optional renewals through 2029, and Fulton County's Board of Commissioners must approve extension years. Bids were due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE availability for this construction work category is 34.71%, and FBE availability is 11.45%. No other states or jurisdictions appear in the recent-opportunities block, and no additional representatives of the code's activity are present in the source material.
