UNSPSC 10501901: Fresh cut coontie fern

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

UNSPSC 10501901 Fresh cut coontie fern is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental plant materials for landscaping and grounds maintenance, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity under this specific code. The recent opportunities posted across Florida and Georgia reveal that state and local governments are purchasing a broader range of plant materials — annuals, potted plants, plugs, shrubs, trees, grasses, and sod — rather than coontie fern specifically. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county boards (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County), and specialized districts (Pelican Bay Services Division). The actual buying activity spans landscaping enhancements, grounds maintenance, invasive species removal, and as-needed plant procurement on master-supply contracts with no guaranteed purchase quantities.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs posted ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 for landscaping plants and products on an as-needed basis, with response due July 29, 2026; Collier County Procurement Services Division issued ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services with proposals due July 8, 2026, reflecting historical annual expenditures around $300,000; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited herbicide spraying and planting services under ITB2600339 (due August 3, 2026) at an estimated project value of $544,532.50; and Monroe County posted RFP634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport with a response deadline of July 7, 2026 and maximum contract value of $300,000. These procurements demonstrate that state and local buyers treat fresh plant materials as commodity-like supplies acquired through master contracts with unit pricing, catalog discounts, or lump-sum service work. The code shows limited recent activity specifically for coontie fern; the broader plant-material procurement market is active, but this particular ornamental species does not appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
