UNSPSC 10441605: Dried cut light pink mini or spray carnation

Dried cut bloom of the light pink mini or spray variety of carnations

UNSPSC 10441605 Dried cut light pink mini or spray carnation is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and dried floral products for landscaping, event decoration, and facility beautification purchased by state and local governments. However, the recent state and local contracting activity under this code does not reflect the purchase of cut carnations themselves. Instead, the primary solicitation posted under this code relates to comprehensive landscape maintenance and grounds management services, including seasonal plantings, irrigation system maintenance, integrated pest management, and horticultural labor — work that falls outside the scope of dried cut flower procurement and appears to be misclassified under the floral-products taxonomy.

Fulton County, Georgia is the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, soliciting landscape maintenance services for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden under ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM with a response deadline of November 30, 2026. The contract scope emphasizes pollinator and rain garden stewardship, including selective pruning, mulching with uncolored hardwood, quarterly pressure washing, irrigation management with seasonal startup and shutdown, installation of bat boxes and bird houses, and seasonal color changes in garden beds and planters — none of which align with the purchase of cut carnation flowers. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and a site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and hold Commercial General Liability insurance with a minimum $1 million per occurrence limit. The code shows limited recent activity directly tied to dried cut carnation procurement; the single posted opportunity reflects a scope mismatch suggesting either miscoding or minimal state and local demand for this specific floral product line.
