UNSPSC 10318121: Fresh cut waratha long protea

Fresh cut bloom of the waratha long variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318121 Fresh cut waratha long protea is a Commodity code that nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically matching that botanical scope. The four recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass educational supplies and cooperative purchasing (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction (DeKalb County), hanging flower basket design and maintenance services (Los Alamos County), and general plant purchases (City of Dallas). Only the Los Alamos hanging basket and Dallas plant-purchase solicitations involve floral or horticultural work; the DeKalb County and Region 7 Purchasing opportunities are categorically misaligned with the code's stated commodity. This suggests either systematic tagging inconsistency in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader landscape and nursery services rather than as a specialized designation for a specific protea variety.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest and Southeast, with solicitations from Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts, City of Dallas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County). Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026, is the most horticulture-specific recent opportunity and requires contractors to hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply all plant material, and maintain up to 144 baskets across town streets; the procurement offers local, resident, and Native American resident preferences under New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases, due February 3, 2026, requires new, unopened plants FOB delivery to Dallas with no substitutes accepted and a one-year warranty. The code shows no concentration among repeat issuers and limited decision-relevance to vendors specializing in cut protea — pursue only if your firm covers general ornamental planting, basket maintenance, or broad landscape supply services across multiple jurisdiction types.
