UNSPSC 10502117: Fresh cut rattlesnake grass

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

UNSPSC 10502117 Fresh cut rattlesnake grass is a Commodity code that represents ornamental grass and groundcover materials purchased by state and local governments for landscape installation and maintenance projects. However, the recent solicitation activity tagged under this code does not align with fresh cut rattlesnake grass procurement; instead, Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for "Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services" — the sole opportunity explicitly matching the code's nominal scope — solicits unit pricing for 78 line items of plant materials including ornamental plants, shrubs, native Florida species, and sod in container sizes ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers, with delivery to Naples, Florida, a three-year initial contract term, and firm pricing during that period followed by annual adjustment subject to county review. Collier County emphasizes this is as-required purchasing with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000, though future patterns may vary. The remaining recent opportunities in the source — DeKalb County's IT infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's educational supplies catalog discount bid, the City of Fairburn's landscape median enhancements, Fairburn's invasive exotic plant removal at an airport, and McKinney's interior plant services — fall outside the fresh cut rattlesnake grass commodity scope and appear to be miscoded by their issuing bodies.

The issuing-body mix for authentic activity under this code consists primarily of county governments and municipalities in Florida focused on community beautification and habitat restoration, with Collier County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple plant-material initiatives. Activity concentrates in Florida, specifically the southwest region and Keys area. Beyond the Pelican Bay Services ITB, Collier County also solicited the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project via Quick Quote informal procurement in March 2026, a coastal dune stabilization initiative requiring approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower as 2-inch liners, with bids due March 13, 2026. Monroe County solicited invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport under RFP634, with proposals due July 7, 2026. Activity in this commodity code segment is limited to a narrow band of specialized environmental and horticultural procurement; the broader construction and landscape enhancement opportunities in the source data reflect miscoding by those jurisdictions and do not represent genuine market demand for fresh cut rattlesnake grass specifically.
