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 ornamental nursery plant materials — cut foliage, plugs, potted specimens, shrubs, groundcovers, and sod — that state and local governments procure for landscaping, right-of-way beautification, and grounds maintenance. Recent activity shows municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts buying these materials on as-needed, when-needed bases, typically through as-required standing contracts with unit pricing, percentage-off discounts from published catalogs, or lump-sum line-item awards. Issuing bodies include cities (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), county governments (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County), and special districts (Pelican Bay Services Division). Contracts generally run one to three years with renewal options, require proof of active nursery licensing and Florida Department of Agriculture compliance, and call for delivery within 10 to 30 days. Insurance requirements are moderate — typically $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence — and bid bonds at 5 percent are common for larger awards.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, with recent solicitations from Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County (Tampa area), Collier County (Naples), and Monroe County. One Georgia opportunity from the City of Fairburn (landscape median enhancements) indicates broader regional activity, though the source provides no additional states. The City of Altamonte Springs issued ITB 26-085-KY for landscaping plants and products on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed volumes, encompassing plugs, 30-gallon trees, 3-gallon potted plants (ranging from 30 to 2,500 units annually by variety), and grass seed, with bids due July 29, 2026. Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs serving the Pelican Bay Services Division (bids due July 8, 2026) priced 78 line items and historically spent approximately $300,000 annually, though with no guaranteed purchase. Monroe County's RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport (proposals due July 7, 2026) is tangential — it addresses removal labor and treatment rather than procurement of fresh plant materials — and signals limited direct relevance to the nursery-supply scope of this code.
