UNSPSC 10318122: Fresh cut white mink protea

Fresh cut bloom of the white mink variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10318122 Fresh cut white mink protea is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, covers ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural supplies procured for municipal landscaping, public beautification, and grounds maintenance. The code sees activity across education service centers, counties, and municipalities—primarily school districts and city parks departments sourcing plants, hanging baskets, and floral materials for streetscapes and public facilities. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring fresh cut flowers, potted ornamental plants, and hanging basket systems with associated installation and maintenance services, with vendors often required to hold nursery dealer licenses and provide multi-year maintenance contracts or one-year product warranties.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) posted a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026), indicating education service centers aggregate purchasing for school districts under broad commodity groupings that may include horticultural supplies; Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streetscapes, with proposals due June 4, 2026, weighted on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), and offering local and state resident business preferences; the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for plants with a February 3, 2026 due date, requiring new unopened stock FOB Dallas with no substitutes accepted and a one-year warranty; and DeKalb County, Georgia issued ITB 2026-076 on June 9, 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026), which includes IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation unrelated to this code's horticultural scope. The fresh cut protea code shows limited recent state and local volume; most posted activity centers on hanging baskets, general plant procurement, and grounds maintenance rather than protea specifically.
