UNSPSC 10318109: Fresh cut nana cones protea

Fresh cut bloom of the nana cones variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318109 Fresh cut nana cones protea is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed for fresh-cut floral materials—specifically protea flowers in cone form—yet the four recent opportunities posted under this code encompass educational supplies catalog discounts, IT infrastructure installation for a tennis center reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases, none of which match fresh-cut protea sales. The issuing bodies include an education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), a county parks and recreation division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and a city procurement office (City of Dallas, Texas), indicating fragmented sourcing across multiple jurisdiction types and geographies with no pattern of repeat buyers under this specific code.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico based on recent postings, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (due July 30, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $40.677 billion over two years), Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for multi-year hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance services (due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident-business preferences), and the City of Dallas's IFS 215260 for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026, requiring FOB delivery and new, unopened items). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the diversity of recent solicitations suggests either miscoding at the issuing bodies or that this code is not a reliable predictor of fresh-cut protea sourcing in state and local procurement.
