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 encompasses landscaping plant materials and vegetation control services, though the recent opportunities associated with this code show minimal direct relevance to its nominal scope. The solicitations clustered under this code reflect state and local governments purchasing a much broader range of plant materials—annuals, potted plants, plugs, seeds, trees, shrubs, and sod—as well as herbicide spraying and invasive plant removal services. Issuing bodies include cities (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), counties (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe, DeKalb), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The mix skews toward county governments managing parks, rights-of-way, and conservation lands, alongside city procurement offices handling community beautification and municipalities executing landscape maintenance contracts. Most opportunities are structured as as-needed, when-needed agreements with no guaranteed purchase volumes, reflecting the unpredictable nature of landscaping and vegetation management demand.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 for nursery plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees) on an as-needed basis, with bids due July 29, 2026 and contract commencing October 1, 2026 for an initial one-year term renewable through five years total. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids under ITB2600339 in July 2026 for herbicide spraying and planting services to control invasive species at mitigation sites and drainage structures, with an estimated project value of $544,532.50 and bids due August 3, 2026; bidders must hold a Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator license. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs supporting the Pelican Bay Services Division, with bids due July 8, 2026 and historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000. Monroe County, Florida released RFP634 in May 2026 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 3, 2026 and proposals due July 7, 2026; the maximum contract value is $300,000.00 and compensation is hourly. A single outlier—DeKalb County's reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center—appears to be an IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure project unrelated to landscaping or vegetation management, suggesting potential code-tagging misalignment.
