UNSPSC 10502123: Fresh cut pampas grass

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

UNSPSC 10502123 Fresh cut pampas grass is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses a broader range of plant materials and landscaping supplies than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, trees, shrubs, ornamental plants, groundcovers, and sod on an as-needed basis for municipal beautification, parks maintenance, and right-of-way improvements. Issuing bodies include municipalities (cities of Altamonte Springs and Fairburn in Florida and Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County and Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and DeKalb County in Georgia), and special-purpose districts. Cities and counties dominate the activity, with repeat buying patterns suggesting ongoing landscape maintenance and seasonal plantings as the primary driver. The work ranges from simple material procurement with catalog discounts to bundled installation and removal services, including invasive species control and chemical vegetation management where specialized licensing and insurance are required.
