UNSPSC 10318100: Fresh cut proteas

Fresh cut blooms including the root ball of proteas

UNSPSC 10318100 Fresh cut proteas, a Class code, does not see relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve educational supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog bid), IT infrastructure for a tennis center (DeKalb County ITB 2026-076), hanging flower baskets (Los Alamos County RFP26-55), and general plants (City of Dallas IFS 215260). Only the Los Alamos and Dallas solicitations touch floral or plant material, and neither targets proteas specifically — Los Alamos seeks design, installation, and maintenance of generic hanging baskets for streetscape, while Dallas requests unspecified plants for delivery to a single address. The code's nominal scope (fresh cut proteas) does not align with the actual work being bought by these jurisdictions.

Geographic spread across recent postings covers Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), but the plant-related opportunities are incidental to broader procurement vehicles rather than protea-specific contracts. Issuing bodies include an education service center, county government, and city procurement — a typical mix of state and local entities — but none demonstrates sustained demand for fresh cut proteas. The Los Alamos RFP (due June 4, 2026) and Dallas IFS (due February 3, 2026) are the closest proxies, yet both solicit general horticultural supply and maintenance rather than fresh cut flowers. If protea supply is part of a state or local procurement strategy, it does not appear in the recent opportunities record under this code.
