UNSPSC 10502958: Fresh cut tulepods

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

UNSPSC 10502958 Fresh cut tulepods (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code designation and actual state and local procurement activity under this taxonomy. The recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass ornamental plant supply and installation services for landscaping and dune restoration projects, interior plant provisioning, and educational materials catalog discounts—none of which directly match the specific commodity "fresh cut tulepods." The code appears to serve as a catch-all placeholder for plant and vegetation procurement within state and local systems, though the solicitations tracked here span diverse scopes from specimen-grade shrub supply to invasive exotic plant removal services. Issuing bodies include Florida county governments (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia municipalities (City of Fairburn, DeKalb County), Texas cities (City of McKinney), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple Texas school districts). No single buyer dominates; activity is distributed across county parks and facilities management, municipal beautification and infrastructure projects, airport operations, and educational procurement networks.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and Georgia (Fairburn, DeKalb County), with secondary presence in Texas through both municipal procurement (McKinney) and the Region 7 cooperative purchasing structure. Representative recent solicitations include the Collier County ITB 26-8667 (due July 8, 2026) for unit-priced supply of ornamental plants, shrubs, grasses, and sod in containers up to 25-gallon sizes for Pelican Bay Services with estimated annual historical spending around $300,000 on an as-required basis; the City of Fairburn IFB 26-013 (due June 16, 2026, with mandatory site visit May 28, 2026) for landscape enhancements including shrub plantings, groundcover, and decorative rock in four roadway medians; Collier County's Quick Quote process (due March 13, 2026) for dune planting supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants following 2024 hurricane damage; and Monroe County's RFP 634 (due July 7, 2026) for invasive exotic plant removal and maintenance treatment across 35 acres at Marathon International Airport. The Region 7 cooperative educational supplies bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) represents an outlier with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years and 136 previous awards, suggesting renewal of an established cooperative vehicle rather than a plant-specific procurement.
