UNSPSC 10318120: Fresh cut susara protea

Fresh cut bloom of the susara variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318120 Fresh cut susara protea, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Of the four recent opportunities tagged under this code, three concern general landscaping, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and educational supplies—work plainly outside the scope of cut-flower sales—and only one directly addresses plant procurement. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for general plants in January 2026, specifying new, unopened inventory in original packaging for delivery to a municipal facility, but the posting does not distinguish cut susara protea or any specific floral species from broader horticultural goods. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (fresh cut susara protea flowers) and the recent opportunities actually solicited suggests that state and local buying offices either do not commonly use this Commodity code for fresh cut flower purchases or that purchases of this specialty product line are too sporadic or dollar-small to appear in recent public notice activity.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities tagged to this code spans Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts statewide, the City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), but none of these solicitations involve cut flower procurement. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local florist or decorative plant budgets are consolidated under higher-tier family or segment codes, whether fresh cut flowers are sourced through cooperative purchasing agreements not yet posted, or whether demand for susara protea specifically is limited enough that opportunities post infrequently or under alternative botanical or commodity classifications.
