UNSPSC 10502942: Fresh cut plumosa

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

UNSPSC 10502942 Fresh cut plumosa (Commodity) covers ornamental plant materials and related landscaping supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for public grounds, median improvements, and community beautification. The code spans live plant inventory — potted annuals, plugs, trees, shrubs, grasses, groundcover, and sod in various container sizes — procured through standing supply contracts or catalog-discount arrangements rather than one-time purchases. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county commissioners, and special-purpose districts managing park and landscape operations. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida (ITB 26-085-KY, due July 29, 2026) solicited plugs, 30-gallon trees, 3-gallon potted plants, and grass seed on an as-needed basis with pricing structured as percentage-off published catalog prices plus flat delivery fees. Collier County, Florida (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026) sought 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, native species, and sod in sizes from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers for the Pelican Bay Services Division, with historical annual expenditures around $300,000. The City of Fairburn, Georgia (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026) specified specimen-quality shrubs, groundcover, and decorative rock for median planting on a one-off project basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the largest standing contracts in Florida's Collier and Orange Counties. The mix of opportunities ranges from small annual re-bids under $50,000 to larger three-to-five-year supply arrangements with estimated annual spend in the six figures. Delivery requirements typically mandate FOB destination within ten to fifteen days for in-stock items and up to thirty days for special orders. Most issuing bodies require proof of active nursery licensing, E-Verify compliance, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), and delivery to specified municipal addresses during business hours. Award is made to the lowest responsive bidder on a line-item or group basis, with option for multiple awards when advantageous to the jurisdiction. Contracts typically run two to five years with firm pricing during the initial term and CPI-indexed adjustments thereafter.
