UNSPSC 10502906: Fresh cut barker bush

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

UNSPSC 10502906 Fresh cut barker bush, a Commodity code, encompasses ornamental shrubs, groundcovers, native plantings, and related landscaping materials that state and local governments procure for community beautification, dune restoration, and facility grounds enhancement. The code captures supply and installation of specimen-quality plant materials sourced from licensed nurseries, often bundled with site preparation, mulching, irrigation, and warranty services. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices, city governments, and special-purpose districts managing parks, roadsides, and municipal grounds. Collier County, Florida has been a repeat buyer under this code, issuing multiple solicitations for Pelican Bay Services Division plantings and dune restoration projects. Work typically involves unit pricing for mixed plant inventories in various container sizes, with contractors expected to demonstrate relevant landscaping experience, maintain insurance including general liability and workers' compensation, and comply with state horticultural standards and environmental protocols such as sea turtle nesting season restrictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 on June 18, 2026, for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (response due July 8, 2026), covering 78 line items with estimated annual spending around $300,000 and a three-year term with renewal options; the county is also pursuing coastal dune planting via Quick Quote procurement QQ2026102 (issued March 13, 2026) to plant approximately 56,250 native species across 4,500 linear feet of dune damaged in the 2024 tropical season.
