UNSPSC 10501905: Fresh cut ming fern

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

UNSPSC 10501905 Fresh cut ming fern (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as a line item within broader landscaping and horticultural plant procurement, rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing ming fern and related ornamental foliage primarily as part of community beautification, dune restoration, and interior planting projects. Collier County, Florida (Pelican Bay Services Division) and the City of McKinney, Texas, have solicited plant materials including ornamental species for facility and landscape work; however, ming fern does not appear explicitly named in the recent opportunities reviewed. The code's scope encompasses fresh-cut and live ornamental foliage materials used in landscaping, facility enhancement, and restoration work, typically sourced from licensed nurseries and delivered on a line-item pricing basis under multi-year supply contracts or project-specific ITBs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Collier County), municipal purchasing departments (City of McKinney, City of Fairburn), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and public entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Procurement notices reflect a mix of informal Quick Quote processes, firm ITBs with unit-price schedules, and RFPs for specialized restoration work; contracts typically range from three-year supply agreements with renewal options to one-time project purchases with one-year maintenance warranties.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with representative opportunities including Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for Plants, Trees and Shrubs (Pelican Bay Services Division, due July 8, 2026, approximately $300,000 historical annual spending), Collier County's coastal dune restoration Quick Quote for native dune plantings (approximately 56,250 native plants, due March 13, 2026), and the City of McKinney's ITB 26-42 for interior plant services (City Hall, due February 25, 2026). Monroe County, Florida, solicited invasive plant removal services at Marathon International Airport (RFP634, due July 7, 2026, maximum $300,000), and the City of Fairburn, Georgia, requested landscape enhancement bids for median improvements (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026). The code shows no recent activity on its own; ming fern does not appear explicitly in posted state and local opportunities, suggesting either low procurement volume, aggregation under broader plant categories, or regional sourcing patterns that do not route through formal competitive solicitation.
