UNSPSC 10502943: Fresh cut podocarpus

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

UNSPSC 10502943 Fresh cut podocarpus (Commodity) represents ornamental plant materials that state and local governments procure for landscape beautification, dune restoration, and grounds maintenance—though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code does not include podocarpus specifically. Instead, the opportunities posted under this Commodity show procurement for a broader range of native and ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and groundcover materials sourced from Florida-licensed nurseries and installed across public facilities, roadway medians, coastal dunes, and municipal buildings. Collier County, the City of Fairburn (Georgia), Monroe County (Florida), and the City of McKinney (Texas) have issued invitations for plant procurement and installation services in the past four months, reflecting a mix of county and municipal purchasers. The scope encompasses both supply-only and turnkey installation contracts, with work ranging from interior lobby plantings to large-scale coastal dune restoration projects covering 225,000 square feet using native Florida species.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with recent procurement from Collier County (two separate ITBs: Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services, ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026, at $300,000 annual historical expenditure; and the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), Monroe County (Invasive Exotic Plant Removal Project at Marathon International Airport RFP, due July 7, 2026, with $300,000 maximum contract value), the City of Fairburn (Landscape Enhancements—Median Improvements IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026, with mandatory site visit May 28, 2026), and the City of McKinney (City Hall Interior Plants ITB 26-42ITB, due February 25, 2026). Contract structures include three-year initial terms with renewal options (Collier County), one-year terms with multi-year renewal (McKinney), and fixed project periods (Fairburn 120 days, dune plantings through September 30). Performance bonds, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and references from prior five-year work are standard requirements. A local-vendor preference applies in Collier County under its Procurement Ordinance; McKinney offers a Local Business Presence Consideration but does not restrict eligibility.
