UNSPSC 10502700: Fresh cut oregonia

Oregonia that has been cut to provide contrast to flowers in various floral arrangements

UNSPSC 10502700 Fresh cut oregonia is a Class code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code description refers to fresh cut oregano, a culinary herb product; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code concern landscaping plants, herbicide application services, invasive species removal, and educational supplies—none of which involve fresh-cut oregano or fresh herbs for consumption or resale. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: municipalities (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county governments (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas school districts). The actual work being procured falls into three categories: ornamental and landscape plant materials on as-needed contracts; chemical and mechanical invasive species and vegetation control services; and unrelated educational supplies through a cooperative framework.

Recent opportunities show geographic activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY (due July 29, 2026, subsequently posted August 24) for landscaping plants and products including annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seed on an as-needed basis with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600339 (due August 3, 2026) for herbicide spraying and vegetation control services at an estimated value of $544,532.50 over three years, requiring bidders to hold Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs with historical annual expenditures of approximately $300,000. Monroe County, Florida issued RFP634 (due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport with a maximum contract value of $300,000. The City of Fairburn, Georgia issued IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026) for landscape enhancements including decorative rock and shrub plantings across roadway medians. The code's recent activity does not reflect its stated commodity definition and appears to be a data-quality issue in the state and local procurement taxonomy.
