UNSPSC 10500000: Fresh cut greenery

Parts of various plants that have been cut to provide contrast to flowers in various floral arrangements

UNSPSC 10500000 Fresh cut greenery, a Family code, encompasses plants, shrubs, trees, groundcovers, and associated materials for landscaping and beautification projects that state and local governments procure for public facilities, parks, medians, and right-of-way restoration. Recent solicitations show counties and cities purchasing live ornamental plants in containers ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon sizes, native species for coastal dune restoration, groundcover installations, and specialized materials including decorative rock, mulch, and dune stabilization posts, typically on an as-required or project basis rather than blanket standing orders. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County), cities (Fairburn, McKinney), and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts. Collier County appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent procurements for plant materials across the Pelican Bay Services Division.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas. Recent representative opportunities include Collier County's Pelican Bay Services Division ITB 26-8667 (plants, trees, and shrubs for community beautification, due July 8, 2026, with historical annual expenditures near $300,000), the City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 (landscape enhancements and median improvements including shrub plantings and groundcover, due June 16, 2026 with mandatory site visit May 28, 2026), Monroe County's RFP634 (invasive exotic plant removal and native dune restoration at Marathon International Airport, due July 7, 2026, maximum contract value $300,000), and the City of McKinney's ITB 26-42 (interior plants for City Hall, live or commercial-grade faux, due February 25, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options; pricing is often submitted on a line-item or lump-sum basis, and awards frequently go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Insurance requirements commonly include $1 million general liability, and bidders must demonstrate relevant project references and compliance with local business tax and E-Verify requirements.
