UNSPSC 10502103: Fresh cut bear grass

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

UNSPSC 10502103 Fresh cut bear grass (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. While the code nominally names a single plant product, the recent opportunities tagged under this code span broad landscape plant and vegetation management services with no substantive focus on bear grass procurement or fresh-cut ornamental grasses. The sourced solicitations instead target landscaping plant materials (annuals, shrubs, trees, sod, and containerized plants from licensed Florida nurseries), invasive species removal and herbicide application services, and landscape installation projects. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county commissions (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County), and special-purpose educational cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). These jurisdictions issue as-needed and term-contract solicitations for plants and landscaping services, typically with no guaranteed purchase volumes, open to multiple awards when advantageous to the buyer.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY (due July 29, 2026) for landscaping plants and products on an as-needed basis with one-year renewable terms; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600339 (due August 3, 2026) for herbicide spraying and invasive species control valued at $544,532.50 over three years, requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses; Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for 78 line items of plants, shrubs, and sod with historical annual spend near $300,000 and local vendor preference eligibility under county ordinance; Monroe County solicited RFP634 (due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal across 35 acres at Marathon International Airport with a maximum contract value of $300,000.00; and the City of Fairburn issued IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026) for landscape median enhancements including rock, shrubs, and groundcover installation. The Commodity code itself does not map cleanly to the service scope being actively solicited, signaling either a tagging mismatch or dormant procurement under this specific product line.
