UNSPSC 10502946: Fresh cut variegated rhamnus or buckthorn

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

UNSPSC 10502946 Fresh cut variegated rhamnus or buckthorn is a Commodity code with very limited recent activity directly aligned to its stated scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on fresh cut variegated rhamnus or buckthorn itself; instead, the eight solicitations in the block span landscaping plants and supplies broadly (trees, shrubs, ornamentals, groundcover, plugs, annuals, potted plants, grass seed), herbicide spraying and invasive species control, educational supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, IT infrastructure, and landscape median improvements. Only one opportunity—the City of Fairburn, Georgia IFB 26-013 for Landscape Enhancements (due June 16, 2026)—names a specific plant variety that approaches the code's scope, calling for 968 square feet of Variegated Liryturf groundcover in 4-inch pots as part of a median beautification project. The issuing bodies are predominantly Florida municipalities and counties (City of Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County) and one Georgia municipality (City of Fairburn), with one cooperative education vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas) and one Georgia county (DeKalb County). The mismatch between the code's nominal specification and the actual work being solicited suggests this code receives sparse, largely misaligned tagging in state and local procurement systems.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (four of the plant-related opportunities) and Georgia (two opportunities), with limited Texas presence through the Region 7 education cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Altamonte Springs ITB26085KY for Nursery Plants & Products on an as-needed basis with bids due July 29, 2026, covering plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed across four product groups; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB2600339 for Herbicide Spraying and Planting (due August 3, 2026) with an estimated value of $544,532.50 for invasive species and weed control at mitigation sites; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-8667 for Plants, Trees and Shrubs for Pelican Bay Services (due July 8, 2026) covering 78 line items of ornamental plants, shrubs, native Florida species, and sod with historical annual expenditures near $300,000. Business development professionals should note that this code shows minimal recent procurement volume directly aligned to its specification, and activity appears driven by general landscaping and vegetation management rather than the specific fresh cut variegated rhamnus or buckthorn product the code nominates.
