UNSPSC 10502945: Fresh cut red tip photinia

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

UNSPSC 10502945 Fresh cut red tip photinia is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of ornamental plant materials—trees, shrubs, grasses, and native species—for landscaping, beautification, and dune restoration projects across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing these materials in bulk quantities for public grounds maintenance, roadway median enhancements, coastal habitat restoration, and municipal facility landscaping, typically sourced from licensed nurseries and delivered FOB destination to specified sites. Collier County, Florida, and the City of Fairburn, Georgia, represent the primary issuing bodies in recent activity, with both counties conducting competitive bidding for plant materials ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon containers. Work encompasses site preparation, species-specific planting (including native Florida dune plants, ornamental shrubs, and groundcover), installation of supporting infrastructure such as irrigation and erosion controls, and post-installation warranty periods. Contractors must hold current business licenses, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and source materials exclusively from properly licensed nurseries with documented compliance to state agricultural standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Collier County issued ITB 26-8667 on June 18, 2026, requesting bids for 78 line items of plants, trees, and shrubs for the Pelican Bay Services Division with a response deadline of July 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST and historical annual expenditures of approximately $300,000; award will be made on a line-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with potential for primary, secondary, and tertiary awards on a three-year contract with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Fairburn, Georgia, issued IFB 26-013 on May 21, 2026, for landscape enhancements within four roadway medians, including installation of 227 shrubs (Autumn Joy Stonecrop and Color Guard Adam's Needle), 968 square feet of Variegated Lilyturf groundcover, and decorative rock, with bids due June 16, 2026, and a mandatory site visit on May 28, 2026. Monroe County, Florida, conducted an RFP (deadline July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal and native habitat restoration across 35 acres at Marathon International Airport, representing specialized work distinct from routine ornamental procurement. Collier County also executed a Quick Quote informal procurement in March 2026 for coastal dune plantings involving approximately 56,250 native plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) on a one-time basis. A local-vendor preference applies in Collier County under the County Procurement Ordinance for vendors with physical business addresses in Collier or Lee County and a current Local Business Tax Receipt, though documentation conflicts exist on preference applicability in the June ITB.
