UNSPSC 10318105: Fresh cut grandiceps protea

Fresh cut bloom of the grandiceps variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318105 Fresh cut grandiceps protea is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific ornamental flowering plant variety, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity aligned with this narrow product scope. The four opportunities posted since January 2026 reflect broader horticultural and facility procurement rather than grandiceps protea specifically: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) solicited educational supplies and activities under a cooperative purchasing vehicle; DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at a tennis facility reconstruction; Los Alamos County, New Mexico sought hanging flower basket design, installation, and multi-year maintenance services; and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plant purchases with no species specification. Of these four opportunities, only the Los Alamos and Dallas procurements relate to florals or plants, and neither restricts bids to grandiceps protea.

Activity under this code remains sparse and geographically dispersed across Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, with no repeat issuing bodies and no evidence of sustained procurement demand for this specific cultivar. The Dallas purchase of plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) required new, unopened products in original packaging FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, TX 75220, with bids evaluated on lowest-responsive-responsible criteria and a one-year warranty. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets (due June 4, 2026) required offerors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license and offered local and resident-business preferences under state code; the contract contemplated up to seven years of pricing. The code shows no regular or concentrated procurement activity among state and local buyers.
