UNSPSC 10318113: Fresh cut pink ice protea

Fresh cut bloom of the pink ice variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318113 Fresh cut pink ice protea is a Commodity-level code that rarely appears in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities associated with this code do not align with its nominal scope. The most visible recent solicitation under the code — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's EDACT2628 catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies, due July 30, 2026 — encompasses broad educational products with no documented fresh flower component. Other recent postings tagged to this code include DeKalb County's ITB for tennis center reconstruction with IT infrastructure work, the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchases, and Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower basket design and maintenance. None of these opportunities explicitly specify fresh cut pink ice protea; the code appears to have been applied broadly or incorrectly across unrelated plant and facility solicitations.

State and local governments issue opportunities under this code infrequently and across disparate service categories. The issuing bodies are geographically scattered—Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving school districts statewide, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County)—with no repeat buyers or concentrated procurement pattern evident from the recent record. The two opportunities with the clearest plant-procurement intent, Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP (due June 4, 2026) and the City of Dallas's plant purchase IFB (due February 3, 2026), treat ornamental plants as commodity supplies rather than specialty cut flowers. Neither solicitation names fresh cut pink ice protea explicitly or signals demand specific to that variety. The code shows little recent relevant activity and should be monitored rather than actively pursued absent direct solicitation language naming this flower variety.
