UNSPSC 10218109: Live nana cones protea

Live plant including the root ball of the nana cones variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10218109 Live nana cones protea, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The five most recent solicitations posted under this code are overwhelmingly focused on landscaping installation, irrigation systems, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and generic plant procurement — none of which target live protea flowers or protea cones specifically. The code shows a categorical mislabeling issue: state and local procurement offices are tagging broad horticultural and ecological restoration work under a Commodity intended for a discrete product line, making the code unreliable as a signal of protea-specific demand.

The opportunities are geographically concentrated in Florida, with the bulk of recent activity in Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties, plus one solicitation from DeKalb County, Georgia (for IT and low-voltage infrastructure in a parks facility), and one from Dallas, Texas (generic plant purchase). The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, and county parks departments. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026), Collier County's Quick Quote for dune planting supply and installation (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). No state and local procurement activity targeting live protea cones or protea flowers specifically appears in the recent posting block.
