UNSPSC 10318116: Fresh cut repens protea

Fresh cut bloom of the repens variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318116 Fresh cut repens protea, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of cut flowering plants and related horticultural products by state and local government entities. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring fresh-cut and potted plants for landscaping, beautification, and public space maintenance—including hanging flower baskets with ongoing maintenance contracts, bulk plant purchases for municipal facilities, and educational floral supplies for school districts. Issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: county parks and recreation departments, municipal purchasing offices, regional purchasing cooperatives serving education networks, and city infrastructure divisions. The mix reflects both one-time procurement events and multi-year cooperative purchasing agreements that aggregate demand across dozens of participating entities.

Geographic activity centers on the Southwest and South, with recent opportunities posted by Los Alamos County in New Mexico, the City of Dallas in Texas, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center), along with DeKalb County in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with proposals due June 4, 2026, which offers local and state resident business preferences under New Mexico Code Section 31-261(b); the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for plants with FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Dallas, Texas and a February 3, 2026 proposal deadline; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid EDACT2628 for educational activities and supplies covering multiple school districts, with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over a two-year term through August 20, 2028 and proposals due July 30, 2026. These opportunities indicate consistent regional demand for both commodity-level plant purchases and specialized maintenance contracts requiring licensure and multi-year pricing commitments.
