UNSPSC 10502005: Fresh cut variegated hosta foliage

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

UNSPSC 10502005 Fresh cut variegated hosta foliage, a Commodity code, covers ornamental foliage and plant materials that state and local governments buy for landscaping, grounds beautification, and habitat restoration—though recent solicitations show the code's nominal scope is significantly broader in practice than the specific "variegated hosta foliage" designation alone would suggest. State and local buyers under this code include cities, counties, and special-purpose districts; municipal landscape and grounds departments issue the majority of recent notices, with county environmental services and airport authorities also appearing. The work ranges from as-needed, when-needed purchases of mixed annuals, plugs, shrubs, trees, and groundcover for parks and roadway beautification (typical line-item pricing for 78 plant varieties ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers) to invasive species removal and habitat restoration projects requiring contractor labor, equipment, and chemical vegetation control over multi-year terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an IFB on August 24, 2026 (bids due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis across four product groups—plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed—with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 to 30 days and a contract term of up to five years. Collier County, Florida posted an ITB on June 18, 2026 (bids due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services, estimated at approximately $300,000 annually over three years with two one-year renewal options, requiring sourcing from licensed Florida nurseries and offering multiple awards on a line-item basis. The City of Fairburn, Georgia issued an IFB on May 21, 2026 (bids due June 16, 2026) for landscape enhancements within four roadway medians, including decorative rock, shrubs, and groundcover installation on a lump-sum basis over 120 days. Monroe County, Florida solicited through an RFP on May 21, 2026 (proposals due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal across 35 acres at Marathon International Airport, with a maximum contract value of $300,000 and term extending through December 31, 2028.
