UNSPSC 10501904: Fresh cut maidenhair fern

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

UNSPSC 10501904 Fresh cut maidenhair fern (Commodity) covers ornamental foliage and floral materials that state and local governments purchase for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and right-of-way beautification. Recent solicitations show that buyers under this code are actually procuring broader plant-material catalogs—annuals, potted plants, plugs, shrubs, grasses, native species, and sod—on an as-needed basis rather than fresh-cut fern specifically. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County in Florida and DeKalb County in Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Most recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia counties managing grounds at parks, airport conservation lands, drainage structures, and municipal right-of-way improvements.

Activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with representative recent opportunities including the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26085-KY (landscaping plants and products, as-needed, response due July 29, 2026), Collier County ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (response due July 8, 2026, with historical annual expenditures near $300,000), and the City of Fairburn IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements including shrub plantings and groundcover installation (response due June 16, 2026). Hillsborough County's ITB 2600339 for herbicide spraying and invasive-species control ($544,532.50 estimated value, response due August 3, 2026) and Monroe County's RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (maximum value $300,000, response due July 7, 2026) indicate that counties also buy vegetation-management services alongside plant materials. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, require proof of Florida nursery licensing and state agricultural compliance, and demand commercial general liability insurance at $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence. Delivery often requires FOB Destination within 10–15 days of order.
