UNSPSC 10502916: Fresh cut croton

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

UNSPSC 10502916 Fresh cut croton is a Commodity code that spans horticultural products and landscaping plant materials state and local governments purchase for right-of-way beautification, park and facility grounds maintenance, and invasive species management. The solicitations under this code show city and county governments buying ornamental plants, shrubs, native species, and specimen groundcover on as-needed, when-needed bases under multi-year blanket or catalog-discount contracts, typically with prices held firm for the initial contract term and subject to CPI-indexed escalation thereafter. The issuing bodies are municipalities (cities of Altamonte Springs and Fairburn, Florida), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County and Collier County, Florida; DeKalb County and Monroe County, Georgia), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The mix reflects a broad base of city and county procurement activity, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code, though Florida counties and municipalities account for the majority of named opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs is re-bidding as-needed landscaping plant supply (annuals, plugs, trees, grass seed) under ITB 26-085-KY with response due July 29, 2026, covering four product groups with estimated annual quantities ranging from 30 to 2,500 units per item and delivery within 15 to 30 days to two zip codes. Collier County is bidding plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division under ITB 26-8667 with response due July 8, 2026, spanning 78 line items of ornamental plants and native Florida species with historical annual spend approximating $300,000 and award on a line-item, lowest-price basis. The City of Fairburn, Georgia solicited landscape median enhancements under IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026) including decorative rock, shrub plantings, and groundcover installation. Hillsborough County's ITB2600339 (due August 3, 2026, estimated value $544,532.50) sought herbicide spraying and invasive-species control services requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses rather than plant supply, representing services tangential to the fresh-cut croton commodity scope. Monroe County's RFP634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon Airport (due July 7, 2026, max contract value $300,000) similarly addresses removal services outside the commodity's primary supply focus. The code shows active purchasing across municipal and county landscaping operations, with emphasis on contractual arrangements featuring volume pricing, long contract terms with renewal options, and as-needed order fulfillment.
