UNSPSC 10318112: Fresh cut pincushion yellow protea

Fresh cut bloom of the pincushion yellow variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318112 Fresh cut pincushion yellow protea is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The four recent opportunities posted under this code span educational supplies catalog discounts, IT infrastructure reconstruction for a tennis facility, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and general plant purchases—none of which target pincushion protea or fresh cut flowers as a procurement line. The issuing bodies include a regional education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), a county parks division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), and a city (Dallas, Texas), suggesting broad jurisdictional representation. However, the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity in the fresh cut floral market.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas again, but the opportunities themselves address educational products, infrastructure, landscaping services, and generic plant purchases rather than the specialty cut flower category the code names. None of the opportunities explicitly solicit fresh cut pincushion yellow protea or similar specialty cut flowers. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative ITB (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) targets educational supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion over two years, and the Los Alamos County RFP (RFP2655, due June 4, 2026) addresses living hanging baskets and maintenance rather than cut flowers. The DeKalb County ITB (2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026) concerns IT infrastructure, and the Dallas IFS (IFSPKRB2300020, due February 3, 2026) addresses generic plant purchases without specifying cut flowers. State and local buyers appear to classify ornamental and general plant procurement under this code without intent to source fresh cut protea as a distinct category.
