UNSPSC 10502106: Fresh cut corkscrew grass

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

UNSPSC 10502106 Fresh cut corkscrew grass is a Commodity code that in practice covers landscaping plant materials and vegetation control services across ornamental plantings, turf management, and invasive species removal at state and local facilities. State and local governments source plant materials—plugs, annuals, potted plants, trees, shrubs, grasses, and sod—through as-needed standing contracts with nursery suppliers, and they also procure specialized services for herbicide application, invasive species removal, and landscape installation. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments, county boards of commissioners, and regional purchasing cooperatives; cities and counties dominate recent solicitation activity, with Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Fairburn, and Monroe County among recent buyers. Work spans routine landscape maintenance (median plantings, community beautification, facility grounds) and specialized environmental management (invasive exotic plant removal at airport conservation lands, chemical vegetation control at drainage and mitigation sites).

Recent solicitations show geographic concentration in Florida, with Georgia activity as well.
