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 is a Commodity code covering ornamental foliage products that state and local governments source for landscaping, beautification, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show significant misalignment: the opportunities posted span herbicide application services, invasive plant removal, educational supplies, telecommunications infrastructure, and general landscaping enhancements, but only two of the seven opportunities directly align with the code's scope of cut foliage or living plant materials for landscape installation. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 for nursery plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees) on an as-needed basis across four product groups; Collier County, Florida issued ITB 26-8667 in June 2026 for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services Division, encompassing 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, native species, and sod ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers, with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000. Issuing bodies include Florida municipalities and county governments focused on right-of-way beautification and community landscaping maintenance.

Activity clusters in Florida, where the City of Altamonte Springs and Collier County both issued landscape supply bids in mid-2026. The Altamonte Springs ITB sought percentage-off discounts from published catalog prices with a flat delivery fee per order, required Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and offered an initial one-year term with up to four one-year renewals; delivery was required within 15 days for in-stock items or up to 30 days for special orders to zip codes 32701 and 32714. The Collier County ITB required unit pricing for all 78 plant items, FOB Destination to Naples with delivery within ten days of order, and featured a three-year initial term with two one-year renewal options; award was made on a line-item basis with potential for multiple awards. Collier County noted historical annual expenditures near $300,000 but emphasized this was not indicative of future spending due to as-required purchasing patterns. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with cut foliage procurement; most state and local opportunities tagged to this code address broader landscaping services or unrelated commodity categories.
