UNSPSC 10502939: Fresh cut diablo ninebark or physocarpus

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

UNSPSC 10502939 Fresh cut diablo ninebark or physocarpus is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities record show minimal activity aligned with this specific plant material and instead reflect broader landscaping plant and grounds maintenance purchasing. Of the seven recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one—the City of Fairburn's landscape median enhancement project—involves planted shrubs (though not the specific ninebark variety named in the code); the others span general nursery stock procurement, herbicide application and invasive-species removal, educational supplies, and IT infrastructure work wholly unrelated to the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies include cities (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), counties (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe, DeKalb), a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and a municipal airport authority (Monroe County's Marathon International). This heterogeneous set and the mismatch between code scope and actual solicitations suggest that the code is either misapplied in tagging or sees limited dedicated procurement activity.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs issued an ITB for landscaping plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seed, and trees) due July 29, 2026, awarding by group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed volumes and a five-year contract term beginning October 1, 2026. Collier County's Pelican Bay Services Division sought bids for plants, trees, and shrubs under ITB 26-8667 due July 8, 2026, with historical annual expenditures approximating $300,000 and contract awards made on a line-item basis. Hillsborough County requested bids for herbicide spraying and planting services to control invasive species at mitigation sites, due August 3, 2026, valued at $544,532.50 over three years and requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licensure. The City of Fairburn's landscape enhancement project (IFB 26-013) called for shrub installation and groundcover in roadway medians with a mandatory site visit on May 28, 2026, and a 120-day contract term. Monroe County's invasive exotic plant removal RFP at Marathon International Airport (due July 7, 2026, maximum value $300,000) involved multi-phase treatment across 35 acres. The code shows no material recent activity aligned specifically with diablo ninebark procurement.
