UNSPSC 10502908: Fresh cut blue flame plumosus

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

UNSPSC 10502908 Fresh cut blue flame plumosus (Commodity) encompasses ornamental foliage and flowering plants sold fresh-cut or potted by state and local governments for landscaping and community beautification projects. The code sees application across municipal parks departments, county environmental services, and special-purpose service districts purchasing plant materials on an as-needed basis for roadway medians, public grounds, and invasive-species mitigation. Scope of work ranges from single-item purchases of potted ornamentals and plugs to larger landscape installation contracts where fresh-cut material forms part of a broader vegetation-control or beautification scope. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), county commissioners' purchasing divisions (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Monroe County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), with repeat activity in Florida-based jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida, where recent solicitations from Altamonte Springs, Collier County, Hillsborough County, and Monroe County dominate the activity. Secondary activity appears in Georgia (Fairburn, DeKalb County) and Texas (Region 7 Cooperative).
