UNSPSC 10502950: Fresh cut italian ruscus

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

UNSPSC 10502950 Fresh cut italian ruscus, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of landscaping plants and related nursery products on an as-needed basis rather than the narrow scope its name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, trees, plugs, sod, and associated landscaping materials purchased through competitive sealed bids and cooperative agreements. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe, DeKalb), and regional education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). Cities and counties dominate the recent activity, with Collier County and Hillsborough County appearing in multiple related opportunities. The code's scope also encompasses invasive plant removal services and associated vegetation control, reflecting the range of plant-related work municipalities and counties bundle into procurement.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida (Altamonte Springs, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Monroe County) and Georgia (DeKalb County, Fairburn), with Texas education cooperatives also active. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY (posted August 24, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products on an as-needed, when-needed basis with multiple product groups and delivery within 15–30 days; Collier County's ITB 26-8667 (posted June 18, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs for Pelican Bay Services with approximately $300,000 in historical annual expenditures; and Monroe County's RFP 634 (posted May 21, 2026, due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, a three-phase project with ongoing maintenance treatments and a maximum contract value of $300,000.00. Bids typically require proof of active business registration, commercial general liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence, Florida nursery licensing where applicable, and acknowledgment of all compliance certifications including E-Verify and conflict-of-interest attestations.
