UNSPSC 10502930: Fresh cut ligularia argentea leaf

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

UNSPSC 10502930 Fresh cut ligularia argentea leaf is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity aligned with fresh cut ligularia specifically. The opportunities instead span general landscaping plants and invasive species removal services—work substantially unrelated to the narrow commodity scope. A city is procuring mixed nursery stock including annuals, potted plants, plugs, and trees on an as-needed basis; a county is contracting herbicide spraying and vegetation control services; another county is buying ornamental plants and shrubs for right-of-way beautification; and a city is undertaking landscape median enhancements with decorative rock, shrubs, and groundcover plantings. A single RFP also targets invasive exotic plant removal at an airport. None of these solicitations reference ligularia or fresh cut foliage, and the herbicide and invasive-species removal work falls outside horticultural supply altogether. The code shows weak signal alignment with its stated commodity.

Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County), and airport authorities (Marathon International Airport). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with most recent opportunities posted between May and August 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products (multiple product groups, 15–30 day delivery, bids due July 29, 2026); Collier County ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs (78 line items, approximately $300,000 historical annual spend, bids due July 8, 2026); and Monroe County RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (three-phase removal with maintenance follow-ups, maximum contract value $300,000, proposals due July 7, 2026). The code's narrow commodity definition does not reflect the broader landscaping and vegetation-management work actually being procured under this classification.
