UNSPSC 10502121: Fresh cut variegated zebra grass

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

UNSPSC 10502121 Fresh cut variegated zebra grass is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly tied to the nominal product line. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly Florida counties and Texas school cooperatives purchasing ornamental plants and landscaping materials as part of broader grounds-maintenance, beautification, and restoration projects. The work being bought includes supply and installation of native and non-native plant species for coastal dune restoration, roadway median enhancement, interior building plant services, and educational facility landscaping—activities that span small-scale municipal improvements to large multi-phase coastal habitat projects. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County, Florida), municipalities (City of Fairburn, Georgia; City of McKinney, Texas), and regional education cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). Recent solicitations show a mix of formal competitive processes (RFP, ITB, IFB) and informal procurement vehicles (Quick Quote), with contracts ranging from short-term (120-day) installation projects to multi-year supply agreements.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with Florida showing the highest volume of recent notices. Representative opportunities include Collier County's ITB for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026) seeking unit pricing on 78 line items of ornamental plants and grasses from Florida-licensed nurseries with approximately $300,000 in historical annual spend; the City of Fairburn's IFB for landscape enhancements with mandatory site visit (due June 16, 2026) requiring installation of shrubs, groundcover including variegated lilyturf, and decorative rock across roadway medians; and Monroe County's RFP for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026) comprising three phases of treatment and maintenance across 35 acres. The code itself appears misaligned with most recent opportunities—solicitations target broader landscaping and grounds-work scope rather than fresh cut variegated zebra grass as a discrete product. Vendors should assess whether their fresh-cut grass offering fits the ornamental and native planting focus dominating current activity or whether positioning is better directed toward landscape installation and maintenance service lines where the recent procurement volume concentrates.
