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, a Commodity code, covers ornamental plant materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping, grounds beautification, and interior plant installations at public facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring fresh crotons as part of broader plant and landscaping supply contracts, though the code appears narrowly applied in current procurement activity—most recent opportunities that include crotons tender them as line items within larger plant-supply or landscape-enhancement projects rather than as standalone croton-specific procurements. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose service divisions managing grounds maintenance, capital improvements, or environmental restoration; Collier County (Florida) and the City of McKinney (Texas) appear as repeat buyers of plant materials across multiple recent opportunities. The scope of work under this code includes procurement of fresh-cut ornamental plants from licensed nurseries for installation in public right-of-ways, municipal facilities, and conservation areas, with delivery, installation, and maintenance responsibilities varying by contract structure.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, reflecting demand from coastal and municipal jurisdictions managing grounds and landscape projects. Collier County issued an ITB on June 18, 2026 (due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division, requesting unit pricing on 78 line items of plant materials including ornamental species, with historical annual expenditures near $300,000 and a three-year firm contract term plus two one-year renewals. The City of McKinney solicited interior plant services via ITB 26-42ITB in February 2026 for City Hall, requesting live or faux commercial-grade plants across multiple floors with monthly maintenance and warranty coverage for live-plant options. Monroe County, Florida also issued an RFP in May 2026 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, a conservation-focused engagement distinct from fresh-croton procurement. The code shows modest recent volume; crotons do not appear as prominent line items in posted solicitations, and buyers typically bundle them within mixed plant-supply contracts rather than soliciting them as a distinct commodity.
