UNSPSC 10502801: Fresh cut green pittosporum

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

UNSPSC 10502801 Fresh cut green pittosporum, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. The code's recent opportunities show no solicitations for pittosporum or related cut foliage; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover landscaping plants and services spanning live nursery stock, herbicide application, landscape construction, and invasive species removal.

State and local issuing bodies tagging this code include Florida cities and counties—the City of Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County—and a Texas education service center. The City of Altamonte Springs issued an ITB on August 24, 2026 (due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, covering annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees in four product groups with no guaranteed purchase quantities and delivery within 15 to 30 days to zip codes 32701 and 32714; the contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals. Hillsborough County posted an ITB on July 14, 2026 (due August 3, 2026) for herbicide spraying and planting services to control invasive species at mitigation sites and drainage structures countywide, valued at $544,532.50 over three years and requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licensure. Collier County issued an ITB on June 18, 2026 (due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division covering 78 line items of plant materials ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers with historical annual expenditures around $300,000; the contract spans three years with two optional one-year renewals, priced on a line-item basis with delivery FOB Destination to Naples, Florida within ten days. Monroe County posted an RFP on May 21, 2026 (due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, encompassing site preparation, initial treatment, and three follow-up maintenance treatments over approximately 35 acres, with a maximum contract value of $300,000 through December 31, 2028 and evaluation criteria heavily weighted to price per man-hour (25 points).

The code shows active recent procurement in Florida across multiple county and city jurisdictions, with Georgia municipal activity as well. However, the mismatch between the Commodity code name (fresh cut pittosporum) and the actual scope of opportunities (live nursery stock, chemical vegetation control, landscape installation, and invasive species management) suggests this code designation may be applied inconsistently or serve as a catch-all for plant-related procurement categories that fall outside a more precise code hierarchy. Pursuit of opportunities under this code requires verification of actual scope at posting, as the code's nominal definition does not reliably predict the work being solicited.
