UNSPSC 10502935: Fresh cut palmetto fan palm

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

UNSPSC 10502935 Fresh cut palmetto fan palm is a Commodity code that captures ornamental plant material procured by state and local governments for landscaping, beautification, and habitat restoration work. However, the recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct demand for palmetto specifically; instead, the opportunities span a broad mix of plants, trees, shrubs, and vegetation-control services. The issuing bodies include cities, counties, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida is soliciting annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis under ITB 26-085-KY (response date July 29, 2026), while Collier County is requesting plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division under ITB 26-8667 (response date July 8, 2026) with historical annual expenditures around $300,000. Monroe County, Florida is pursuing invasive exotic plant removal services at Marathon International Airport under RFP 634 (response date July 7, 2026), and the City of Fairburn, Georgia issued IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements including shrub plantings and groundcover installation (response date June 16, 2026). A Texas Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicitation for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, response date July 30, 2026) appears misaligned with the palmetto code's scope.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with the most substantial volume in Hillsborough County's herbicide spraying and planting services contract valued at $544,532.50 (ITB 2600339, response date August 3, 2026), though that opportunity focuses on chemical vegetation control rather than plant procurement. The geographic concentration reflects states where landscape maintenance and invasive species management drive recurring procurement. Bidders pursuing opportunities under this code typically face requirements for Florida Department of Agriculture licenses or certifications, compliance with native and invasive species lists, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million depending on scope, delivery within 10–15 days of order, and E-Verify enrollment. The code itself shows fragmented, project-based demand rather than sustained statewide or regional programs, with most opportunities structured as as-needed or seasonal purchasing rather than guaranteed-volume agreements.
