UNSPSC 10502947: Fresh cut blooming rhododendron

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

UNSPSC 10502947 Fresh cut blooming rhododendron, a Commodity code, does not align closely with recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The available recent opportunities span landscaping plants and products (annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees), herbicide spraying and invasive species control, educational supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, IT infrastructure reconstruction, landscape median enhancements, and airport invasive exotic plant removal—none of which represents fresh cut blooming rhododendron as a discrete product line. The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity show a material disconnect. When state and local procurement offices index opportunities under this code, they appear to be tagging broadly defined landscaping plant procurement rather than rhododendron specifically.

Recent opportunities in the indexed block originate from municipal and county bodies in Florida and Georgia (City of Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County, Collier County, City of Fairburn, and Monroe County) and a Texas education service center cooperative, with no concentrated geographic or issuing-body pattern tied to fresh cut rhododendron procurement. The representative solicitations—the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products (due July 29, 2026, as-needed landscaping supplies), Hillsborough County ITB2600339 for herbicide spraying and invasive species control (due August 3, 2026, estimated $544,532.50), and Collier County ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs (due July 8, 2026, historical annual spend approximately $300,000)—show demand for landscape maintenance materials and services rather than a fresh flower commodity. The code displays minimal relevant recent activity for business development purposes under its stated scope.
