UNSPSC 10502956: Fresh cut skimmia

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

UNSPSC 10502956 Fresh cut skimmia, a Commodity code, describes ornamental plant materials and related landscaping supplies that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for right-of-way beautification, park improvements, and facility grounds maintenance. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buyers are purchasing a broad range of nursery stock — potted annuals, plugs, trees, shrubs, groundcovers, native species, and sod — rather than skimmia specifically. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include city procurement offices (Altamonte Springs, Fairburn), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough, Collier, Monroe), and county service divisions managing parks and conservation lands. These jurisdictions typically issue ITBs and RFPs on an as-required purchasing model with no guaranteed minimum quantities, awarding to the lowest responsive bidder on a line-item or group basis and reserving the right to make multiple awards when advantageous.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the most recent and highest-value opportunities in Florida jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY (posted August 24, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for landscaping plants and products including plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seeds on an as-needed, when-needed basis with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals; Collier County ITB 26-8667 (posted June 18, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for plants, trees, and shrubs supporting the Pelican Bay Services Division with historical annual expenditures near $300,000 and a three-year term with two optional one-year renewals; and Monroe County RFP 634 (posted May 21, 2026, due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal at Marathon International Airport, a specialized services engagement distinct from commodity plant procurement. Most opportunities require commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), proof of Florida nursery licensing and Department of Agriculture compliance, E-Verify enrollment, and delivery within 10 to 15 days of order. The code shows active procurement across the state and local buyer base but does not reflect material recent demand specifically for fresh cut skimmia as a solicited commodity.
