UNSPSC 10502009: Fresh cut meyerii foliage or foxtail foliage

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

UNSPSC 10502009 Fresh cut meyerii foliage or foxtail foliage, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's name suggests ornamental cut foliage for floral or decorative arrangements, yet the six recent opportunities posted since February 2026 span landscape plantings, invasive plant removal, dune restoration, interior plantings, and educational supplies—none of which involve harvesting or supplying fresh cut meyerii or foxtail foliage as a standalone product line. The one solicitation closest to horticultural materials procurement is Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026), which requests unit pricing across 78 line items of live plant materials including ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, native species, and sod delivered to Naples, Florida; however, this is live nursery stock rather than cut foliage. A second Collier County opportunity, the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings Quick Quote (due March 13, 2026), sourced approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower as 2-inch liners for coastal stabilization. The remaining four solicitations—Monroe County invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon Airport (RFP, due July 7, 2026), the City of Fairburn landscape median enhancements (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026), the City of McKinney interior plants procurement (ITB 26-42, due February 25, 2026), and a Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies catalog discount bid—fall entirely outside the code's stated commodity definition.

The issuing-body mix reflects county procurement offices and municipalities rather than wholesale nursery or foliage suppliers. Collier County, Florida appears twice as a repeat buyer of plant materials for public-lands beautification and coastal restoration, while the City of McKinney, Texas sought interior plantings and Monroe County, Florida addressed invasive-species management. The City of Fairburn, Georgia and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) round out the recent activity. Geographically, the identifiable opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and Texas (City of McKinney, Region 7 Cooperative), with a single Georgia posting. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between "fresh cut meyerii foliage" and the actual work being solicited—live plant procurement, landscape installation, ecosystem restoration—suggests this code is either tagged incorrectly in state and local systems or represents a dormant commodity classification for which state and local governments are not actively procuring.
