UNSPSC 10502955: Fresh cut silver sage

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

UNSPSC 10502955 Fresh cut silver sage is a Commodity code covering ornamental plant materials and cut foliage sold to state and local government landscape and grounds-maintenance programs. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are actually procuring broader landscaping plant materials — annuals, potted ornamentals, shrubs, grasses, sod, and specimen trees in various container sizes — on an as-needed, when-needed basis for public grounds beautification, right-of-way enhancement, and ecosystem restoration. Cities and counties issue invitations to bid (ITBs) and requests for proposals (RFPs) for plants and related landscape services, typically accepting catalog-discount pricing, unit pricing by line item, or lump-sum proposals, with awards often made to multiple contractors by product group or line item when advantageous. The issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices (City of Altamonte Springs, City of Fairburn), county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Monroe County), and specialized public authorities (Pelican Bay Services Division within Collier County). Contractors must be registered with state licensing authorities, maintain current business tax receipts, enroll in E-Verify, carry specified general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence), and comply with Florida Scrutinized Company lists and federal excluded-parties requirements where applicable.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with the most visible recent solicitations from Altamonte Springs (ITB26085KY, due July 29, 2026, re-bid for annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seed on a catalog-discount basis), Collier County (ITB 26-8667, due July 8, 2026, for 78 line items of ornamental plants and sod with historical annual spend near $300,000), Hillsborough County (ITB2600339, due August 3, 2026, for herbicide spraying and invasive-species control at $544,532.50 over three years), Fairburn, Georgia (IFB 26-013, due June 16, 2026, for median landscape enhancements with shrub and groundcover installation), and Monroe County, Florida (RFP634, due July 7, 2026, for invasive exotic plant removal services at $300,000 maximum across 35 acres through December 31, 2028). Contract terms commonly span one to three years with renewal options, and many jurisdictions emphasize no guaranteed minimums on annual volumes.
