UNSPSC 10502804: Fresh cut nigra pittosporum

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

UNSPSC 10502804 Fresh cut nigra pittosporum is a Commodity code that represents cut ornamental foliage and plant material used in landscaping, dune restoration, and interior plantings across state and local jurisdictions. The code captures the supply of fresh-cut plant materials—including native coastal species, shrubs, groundcovers, and specimen ornamentals—that state and local governments procure for public-space beautification, environmental restoration, and facility enhancement. Recent state and local solicitations show counties, cities, and special-purpose districts purchasing fresh plant material on both standing contract and project-specific bases, with pricing typically structured as unit or line-item bids covering supply, delivery, and installation labor. Issuing bodies include county parks and services divisions (Collier County in Florida), municipal procurement offices (City of McKinney, Texas; City of Fairburn, Georgia), and airport authorities (Monroe County at Marathon International Airport). The mix is heavily weighted toward Florida and Georgia jurisdictions in recent activity, reflecting climate-driven demand for both native dune restoration and ornamental landscaping in coastal and municipal settings.

Recent solicitations include Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs to Pelican Bay Services Division (due July 8, 2026), which specified 78 line items of plant materials ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers with approximately $300,000 in historical annual expenditures; Collier County's earlier Quick Quote for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project (due March 13, 2026) seeking approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and coastal groundcovers across 225,000 square feet; the City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements on Broad Street medians (due June 16, 2026) requesting Autumn Joy Stonecrop, Color Guard Adam's Needle, and Variegated Lilyturf groundcover; Monroe County's RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026); and the City of McKinney's ITB 26-42 for interior plants at City Hall (due February 25, 2026). All recent opportunities require compliance with Florida or relevant state nursery licensing standards, E-Verify enrollment, current business tax receipts, and commercial general liability insurance. Contracts typically run three years with renewal options or are structured as firm-pricing terms through a specified date, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item or lump-sum basis.
