UNSPSC 10318104: Fresh cut cordata foliage protea

Fresh cut bloom of the cordata foliage variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318104 Fresh cut cordata foliage protea (Commodity) describes decorative cut flowers and foliage products that state and local governments procure for landscaping, beautification, and horticultural projects. Recent solicitation activity shows the code receiving minimal relevant use; of four state and local opportunities posted between January and June 2026, only one directly aligns with the code's scope. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the Los Alamos town site, requiring contractors to supply and maintain plant material including fresh flowers and foliage according to specified designs and quality standards, with proposals due June 4, 2026. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) for plants in January 2026 with a February 3, 2026 due date, requiring new, unopened plants in original packaging FOB to a Dallas delivery address. The remaining two opportunities—a Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies catalog bid and a DeKalb County IT infrastructure rebuild—carry the UNSPSC code but involve unrelated procurements, indicating potential classification misalignment in the state and local opportunity dataset.

Activity under the code spans municipal and county governments, with no recent solicitation from state departments or school districts. Los Alamos County's hanging basket procurement represents the most substantial recent engagement, evaluating proposals on qualifications and experience (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solutions (35 points), and cost (20 points), with a contract term of up to seven years and award anticipated by July 14, 2026. The geographic distribution is limited to New Mexico and Texas based on the recent record. Contractors pursuing this code should note that Los Alamos County requires a valid nursery dealer license from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture and offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under state law and county code, with offerors required to hold current preference certificates and, for local preference, a Los Alamos County business license with principal office in the county.
