UNSPSC 10501503: Fresh cut variegated aspidistra

A type of aspidistra that has been cut to provide contrast to flowers in various floral arrangements

UNSPSC 10501503 Fresh cut variegated aspidistra (Commodity) represents ornamental plant material and landscaping products that state and local governments purchase for grounds beautification, habitat restoration, and right-of-way maintenance on an as-needed basis. The work solicited under this code spans live plant materials—including annuals, plugs, potted ornamentals, shrubs, grasses, trees, and sod—sourced from licensed Florida nurseries and delivered within specified timeframes to support municipal landscaping projects and county maintenance operations. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (City of Altamonte Springs), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County), and special-purpose district procurement divisions (Pelican Bay Services Division). Recent solicitations emphasize as-needed purchasing models with no guaranteed volumes, delivery within 10 to 30 days depending on stock status, and compliance with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services plant standards. Vendors must hold active business registration, current tax receipts, and appropriate insurance; many solicitations require local-nursery sourcing and specimen-quality materials with disease-free guarantees.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where the City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 for landscaping plants and products (plugs, trees, potted annuals, grass seed) on a re-bid as-needed basis with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 to 30 days, commencing October 1, 2026 for up to five years; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-8667 in June 2026 for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (78 line items, historically $300,000 annually, three-year term with two one-year renewal options); and Monroe County issued RFP 634 in May 2026 for invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport ($300,000 maximum, three-phase project with maintenance follow-ups through December 31, 2028). Georgia municipalities also solicit under the code—the City of Fairburn issued IFB 26-013 in May 2026 for landscape enhancements including shrub plantings and groundcover (Variegated Lilyturf) within four roadway medians. Delivery compliance, local-vendor preference (Collier County), and bond/insurance requirements (general liability $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence depending on jurisdiction) are standard competitive conditions.
