UNSPSC 10502004: Fresh cut green hosta foliage

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

UNSPSC 10502004 Fresh cut green hosta foliage is a Commodity code that encompasses flowering and ornamental plant materials purchased by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal activity directly matching the specific scope of fresh cut hosta foliage. Instead, the solicitations span a broader range of nursery plants and landscaping services including potted annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, grasses, groundcover, sod, and invasive species removal. The buying pattern reflects what municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts actually source on an as-needed basis — a mix of dormant and live plant materials in various container sizes, from 4-inch pots through 30-gallon and 25-gallon containers, combined with delivery and installation labor. Issuing bodies span cities, counties, and school district cooperatives: the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida (landscaping plants on a when-needed basis); Hillsborough County, Florida (herbicide spraying and invasive species control); Collier County, Florida (ornamental plants and shrubs for community beautification); Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas school districts (educational supplies via cooperative vehicle); the City of Fairburn, Georgia (decorative landscaping enhancements); and Monroe County, Florida (invasive exotic plant removal). The code shows little recent activity specifically for fresh cut hosta foliage as a discrete commodity.

The geographic spread centers on Florida and Georgia, with one Texas cooperative opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY (posted August 24, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products including plugs, trees, potted annuals, and grass seed on an as-needed basis with as many as five product groups and potential multiple awards; Collier County ITB 26-8667 (posted June 18, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for 78 line items of plants, trees, and shrubs with historical annual expenditures around $300,000 and firm pricing for three years; and the City of Fairburn IFB 26-013 (posted May 21, 2026, due June 16, 2026) for median landscape enhancements including shrubs, groundcover, and decorative rock on a fixed-price, 120-day contract. Insurance and compliance requirements across these solicitations are standard, with general liability ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, E-Verify certification, W-9 submission, and conflict-of-interest documentation. The code's recent activity does not support a sustained pipeline of opportunities specifically for fresh cut green hosta foliage as a standalone line item.
