UNSPSC 10161903: Dried fern greenery

UNSPSC 10161903 Dried fern greenery is a Commodity code that in practice captures ornamental and decorative plant materials used in landscaping, environmental restoration, and recreational settings by state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show demand for native plant materials and greenery supporting environmental mitigation projects, wetland restoration, and park amenities rather than dried fern fronds specifically. Issuing bodies span county environmental departments, municipal parks and recreation divisions, and city procurement offices. The work solicited includes plant sourcing and installation as part of broader environmental planting and maintenance contracts, as well as craft and recreational supplies procurement where plant materials function as consumables or decorative inputs to community programming.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast. Pinellas County, Florida issued an RFP (Solicitation 250628RFP) on June 30, 2025 for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services across a five-year term from 2025 to 2030, with proposal due July 29, 2025, requiring native plant installation and maintenance at wetlands, stormwater facilities, and park sites with a comprehensive 150-species plant listing and SBE participation provisions. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued an RFB (RFB No. 26-0014) due February 25, 2026 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies procurement supporting the Department of Parks and Recreation on an annual budget of $30,000 to $50,000. The two opportunities diverge in scope—one environmental restoration-focused, the other general recreation supplies—suggesting the code captures both specialized ecological planting work and routine craft-supply categories within local government purchasing.
