UNSPSC 10502000: Fresh cut leaves or foliage

Leaves or foliage that have been cut to provide contrast to flowers in various floral arrangements

UNSPSC 10502000 Fresh cut leaves or foliage, a Class code, encompasses supply and installation of ornamental plant materials—live plants, shrubs, grasses, native species, dune restoration plantings, and related landscaping enhancements—that state and local governments procure for community beautification, habitat restoration, and facility decoration. Collier County (Florida), DeKalb County (Georgia), the City of Fairburn (Georgia), Monroe County (Florida), and the City of McKinney (Texas) have recently solicited under this code through ITBs, RFPs, and informal Quick Quote processes. The work ranges from standard grounds maintenance plantings (ornamental shrubs and sod in 4-inch to 25-gallon containers delivered FOB destination) to specialized coastal dune stabilization using native sea oats, railroad vine, and dune sunflower at prescribed spacing, and invasive exotic plant removal and treatment on conservation lands. Counties and municipalities issue most of the recent opportunities; school districts appear absent from the recent activity block. Issuing bodies typically require plant materials sourced from licensed nurseries (Florida Department of Agriculture compliance where applicable), specimen quality certifications, disease-free status, and delivery within specified timeframes. Contractors bear responsibility for site preparation, utility location, erosion control, and seasonal compliance (sea turtle nesting protocols in coastal projects). Multi-year contracts with optional renewal terms and price-adjustment mechanisms tied to documentation and county reasonableness review are common structures.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Collier County has issued multiple solicitations—ITB 26-8667 (Pelican Bay Services Division plants, trees, and shrubs, due July 8, 2026, under local-vendor preference ambiguity, with approximate historical annual expenditures of $300,000 and three-year firm pricing followed by adjustable terms) and Quick Quote QQ2026102 (Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings, approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet, due March 13, 2026)—representing the most active buyer. The City of Fairburn, Georgia, solicited landscape enhancements and median improvements including decorative rock, shrub plantings, and groundcover (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026, with mandatory site visit May 28, 2026). Monroe County, Florida, is seeking invasive exotic plant removal and three-phase treatment services at Marathon International Airport (RFP 634, due July 7, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid June 3, 2026, maximum contract value $300,000). The City of McKinney, Texas, procured interior plants—live or commercial-grade faux—for City Hall (ITB 2642, due February 25, 2026). Insurance requirements typically include general liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation at statutory limits, and Collier County or destination jurisdiction named as additional insured. Bid bonds and performance bonds are standard for awards exceeding $200,000.
