UNSPSC 10502109: Fresh cut fountain grass

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

UNSPSC 10502109 Fresh cut fountain grass (Commodity) covers ornamental grasses and related plant materials supplied to state and local jurisdictions for landscape beautification, dune restoration, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local opportunities show demand for native and ornamental grasses as components of broader landscaping projects rather than as standalone products—fountain grass typically appears as one line item within solicitations for shrubs, groundcovers, and complete landscape installations serving parks, municipal facilities, coastal dune restoration, and roadway median improvement. Issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida; DeKalb County, Georgia), cities (City of Fairburn, Georgia; City of McKinney, Texas), school districts and cooperative purchasing entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas), and special-purpose divisions within counties (Pelican Bay Services Division). Collier County appears twice in the recent posting history, indicating repeat demand for plant material procurement within a single large Florida county.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative opportunities include Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026), soliciting unit pricing for 78 line items including grasses and native Florida species with approximately $300,000 in historical annual expenditure; the City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 for Landscape Enhancements—Median Improvements (due June 16, 2026), specifying 968 square feet of Variegated Lilyturf groundcover in 4-inch pots alongside shrubs and decorative rock; and Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (due March 13, 2026), a coastal dune stabilization project requiring approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and other coastal species. Most opportunities enforce local business tax receipt requirements, E-Verify enrollment, and compliance with state nursery licensing standards. Insurance thresholds typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage with the issuing jurisdiction named as additional insured.
