UNSPSC 10318107: Fresh cut ivy protea

Fresh cut bloom of the ivy variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318107 Fresh cut ivy protea is a Commodity code that captures ornamental cut flowers and related plant material for landscape, municipal beautification, and institutional display—but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with fresh cut protea specifically. Recent solicitations instead reflect broader horticultural procurement: hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance; general plant purchases for municipal grounds; and catalog discount bids spanning educational supplies where plant material may be incidental. The mix of issuing bodies includes county governments (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County), city procurement offices (City of Dallas), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center). No standout repeat buyers emerge from the recent activity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Southwest, with recent RFPs and informal solicitations from Dallas, the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Los Alamos County (New Mexico), and DeKalb County (Georgia). Los Alamos County conducted an RFP (RFP26-55) for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance due June 4, 2026, with pre-proposal conference May 13, 2026, requiring a New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering New Mexico resident and local business preferences. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened materials FOB Dallas delivery. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a catalog-discount cooperative vehicle, solicited educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026, with estimated two-year expenditures of $40.677 billion across the cooperative's school district network. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting fresh cut ivy protea or specialty cut flowers; state and local procurement under this designation appears episodic rather than volume-driven.
