UNSPSC 10501908: Fresh cut umbrella fern

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

UNSPSC 10501908 Fresh cut umbrella fern, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with the nominal scope of nursery fern products for state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly address broader landscaping plant procurement, herbicide and vegetation control services, and unrelated infrastructure work rather than fresh cut or potted umbrella ferns specifically. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida solicited nursery plants and products including annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees under ITB26085KY (due July 29, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division under ITB 268667 (due July 8, 2026), both structured as as-needed, when-needed purchasing on a line-item basis with multiple potential awards. However, neither opportunity explicitly names umbrella fern among the specified plant materials, and a third posting from Hillsborough County addressed herbicide spraying and invasive species control rather than ornamental plant supply. The issuing-body mix reflects municipal and county procurement departments managing grounds maintenance and landscaping contracts.

Geographic activity centers in Florida (Altamonte Springs, Collier County, Hillsborough County, and Monroe County), with secondary municipal activity in Georgia (DeKalb County and the City of Fairburn). The representative landscaping procurements—Altamonte Springs' ITB for plugs, potted plants, and trees with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 days, and Collier County's three-year ITB for 78 line items of ornamental plants and native Florida species with historical annual expenditures near $300,000—demonstrate vendor-managed, catalog-discount or unit-price structures favoring multi-year standing arrangements. However, the code itself shows negligible recent procurement specific to fresh cut umbrella fern; most state and local activity under this code appears to be tagging error rather than deliberate commodity purchasing in the fern segment.
