UNSPSC 10502957: Fresh cut springeri

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

UNSPSC 10502957 Fresh cut springeri is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental plant supply and installation for landscape beautification and restoration projects across state and local public facilities. State and local governments procure live native and ornamental plants—primarily shrubs, grasses, and groundcover in containers ranging from 4-inch pots to 25-gallon sizes—for right-of-way improvements, coastal dune stabilization, interior building installations, and invasive species habitat restoration. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, DeKalb County, Florida), municipalities (City of Fairburn, City of McKinney, Texas), and educational cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas), with Collier County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple plant-supply solicitations. Work being solicited ranges from routine landscape enhancement contracts (shrub and groundcover installation in roadway medians and building interiors) to specialized restoration projects requiring native Florida species sourced from licensed nurseries and compliance with coastal environmental protocols including sea turtle nesting considerations. Contractors must supply specimen-quality materials free of disease, source from properly licensed suppliers, and typically provide one-year plant warranties or ongoing monthly maintenance obligations for live installations.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Texas, with significant procurement volume in Southwest Florida (Collier and Monroe Counties) and additional activity in Georgia and North Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's ITB 26-8667 for plants, trees, and shrubs serving the Pelican Bay Services Division with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, and historical annual expenditures near $300,000; Monroe County's RFP 634 for invasive exotic plant removal across 35 acres at Marathon International Airport with proposals due July 7, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $300,000; the City of Fairburn's IFB 26-013 for landscape enhancements within four roadway medians (closed June 16, 2026); and Collier County's Quick Quote solicitation (QQ2026102) for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across coastal dune stabilization zones. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is soliciting educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628 with an estimated $40.677 billion over two years (proposals due July 30, 2026), though the scope encompasses broader educational materials beyond horticultural products and may represent a code misclassification. Bonds, insurance requirements (Commercial General Liability typically $1,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify enrollment, and three-to-five-year project references are standard bid prerequisites; local-vendor preferences apply in some jurisdictions where certified.
