UNSPSC 10501900: Fresh cut ferns

Ferns that have been cut to provide contrast to flowers in various floral arrangements

UNSPSC 10501900 Fresh cut ferns is a Class code that in recent state and local solicitation activity encompasses broader landscaping plants and related services rather than cut ferns alone. The code appears in opportunities spanning ornamental plant materials, shrub and tree installations, turf and groundcover, invasive species removal, and herbicide application services. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county board of commissioners, and special-purpose entities managing parks and public spaces. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an ITB for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis covering plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed; the Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division; and the City of Fairburn, Georgia requested landscape enhancements including shrub and groundcover installation for roadway medians. Hillsborough County and Monroe County also posted opportunities involving vegetation management—Hillsborough for herbicide spraying and invasive species control and Monroe County for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary representation in counties across the Southeast. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB26085KY with bids due July 29, 2026, covering annuals, potted plants, plugs, and trees on a one-year renewable term; Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 with proposals due July 8, 2026, seeking unit-priced bids on 78 line items of plant materials with historical annual expenditures near $300,000; the City of Fairburn issued IFB 26-013 with bids due June 16, 2026, for landscape median enhancements including shrub planting and groundcover installation; and Hillsborough County issued ITB2600339 with bids due August 3, 2026, for herbicide spraying and planting services on a three-year contract valued at $544,532.50, requiring bidders to hold Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses with Right-of-Way and Aquatic Pest Control categories.
