UNSPSC 10318119: Fresh cut sugar protea

Fresh cut bloom of the sugarbloom variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318119 Fresh cut sugar protea, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity; state and local governments do not solicit fresh cut sugar protea as a standalone commodity in current opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific cut flower variety—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) and the City of Dallas have posted solicitations for general plants and educational supplies that may include assorted florals, but neither specifies fresh cut sugar protea or dedicates a procurement vehicle to it. The Los Alamos County hanging flower basket maintenance contract calls for living flowering plants in landscape installations rather than cut florals, and the DeKalb County tennis center reconstruction solicitation concerns IT and low-voltage infrastructure and is unrelated to the commodity code entirely.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico, driven by landscape and amenity procurement rather than wholesale floral supply. The City of Dallas informal solicitation (IFS) for plants posted January 28, 2026 with a February 3, 2026 response date requires new plants in original packaging FOB Dallas, and Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets (posted May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026) mandates a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and long-term maintenance responsibility. Neither opportunity explicitly mentions cut flowers or sugar protea. The mismatch between the commodity code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either underutilized in state and local markets or commonly mislabeled in procurement systems where floral materials appear.
