UNSPSC 10502116: Fresh cut purple plum grass

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

UNSPSC 10502116 Fresh cut purple plum grass is a Commodity code that covers ornamental and turf grass products for landscaping and grounds maintenance. State and local governments procure this code primarily through as-needed, when-needed landscaping plant supply contracts where grass seed and sod are bundled with other plant materials—annuals, potted plants, shrubs, trees, and groundcovers—rather than as standalone purple plum grass items. The issuing bodies are mixed municipal and county procurement offices, with recent activity from city governments (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn) and county boards (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe). The scope of work includes delivery of grass seed varieties, sod, and plugs to public facilities, parks, and infrastructure maintenance sites; planting and installation labor at landscaping sites; and invasive species and weed control services that involve herbicide application and vegetation management on county mitigation sites and drainage structures. Contract vehicles are typically as-needed standing orders with three- to five-year terms, unit-price or catalog-discount bidding, and no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 for landscaping plants and products including grass seed (three types at 30 units annually) on an as-needed basis with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 to 30 days; the contract runs one year with four optional one-year renewals beginning October 1, 2026. Hillsborough County posted ITB 2600339 in July 2026 for herbicide spraying and planting services to control invasive species and grass at mitigation sites, estimated at $544,532.50 over three years, requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licensure and responses due August 3, 2026. Collier County's ITB 26-8667 in June 2026 solicited unit pricing for 78 line items of plant materials including ornamental grasses, sod, and native Florida species for the Pelican Bay Services Division with historical annual expenditure approximating $300,000 and a three-year initial term. The City of Fairburn, Georgia posted IFB 26-013 in May 2026 for landscape enhancements including groundcover plantings (Variegated Lilyturf in 4-inch pots) and decorative rock installation within roadway medians, with responses due June 16, 2026.
