UNSPSC 10318106: Fresh cut green mink protea

Fresh cut bloom of the green mink variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318106 Fresh cut green mink protea, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific flower variety through formal procurement channels; the recent opportunities block contains no bids or RFPs for fresh cut green mink protea itself. Instead, the code appears underutilized or misapplied in the state and local procurement ecosystem. When governments do purchase flowers and plants — hanging baskets, general plant materials, or landscaping flora — they typically solicit through broader RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs that do not cite this specific commodity code. The issuing bodies that engage in floral and plant procurement span cities (Dallas), counties (Los Alamos, DeKalb), and education cooperatives, but no pattern of repeat buyers emerges under this code specifically.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code or its family are geographically scattered across Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, with activity concentrated in municipal landscaping and grounds-maintenance contracts rather than fresh-cut flower supply. Los Alamos County conducted an RFP (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) for hanging flower baskets and maintenance across town streets; the City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) with FOB delivery to a facilities address; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026), though that opportunity encompasses broad educational products rather than specialty flowers. The code does not show sustained or predictable procurement volume under its literal description. Firms considering this code should verify that specific opportunities are genuinely seeking fresh cut green mink protea before investing in pursuit — the recent record suggests they are sourcing flowers and plants through adjacent codes or descriptive language that does not match this narrow commodity.
