UNSPSC 10218114: Live pink mink protea

Live plant including the root ball of the pink mink variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10218114 Live pink mink protea is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a specific ornamental flower species, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for live pink mink protea or closely related specialty cut or ornamental plants. Instead, the five opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span IT infrastructure reconstruction, roadside landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental wetland and stormwater management planting, and general municipal plant purchases — none of which specifically target live pink mink protea as a line item or primary deliverable. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either incorrect code tagging by the issuing bodies or that live pink mink protea procurement does not appear in recent state and local solicitations at a measurable level.

The issuing bodies include a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), two additional Florida counties (Pasco and Collier), a second Florida county (Pinellas), and a major city (Dallas, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with three of five opportunities posted there, and the remaining two in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and an April 14, 2026 response date, Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune plantings requiring 56,250 native plants with a March 13, 2026 deadline, and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across multiple sites with a July 29, 2025 submission date. The Dallas city procurement was a general plant purchase via informal solicitation due February 3, 2026. None of these opportunities document live pink mink protea as a specified commodity.
