UNSPSC 10318303: Fresh cut leucospermum calligerum

Fresh cut blooms of the calligerum variety of leucospermums

UNSPSC 10318303 Fresh cut leucospermum calligerum is a Commodity code that represents a narrow and specialized horticultural product — specifically the protea flower species commonly used in floral arrangements and decorative displays. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through general plant and floral procurement conducted by parks and recreation departments, municipal beautification programs, and county facilities management divisions. The recent opportunities in the dataset show a significant mismatch between the code's narrow botanical specification and the actual solicitations tagged to it: the opportunities instead cover broad educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, general hanging flower baskets with unspecified plant varieties, and general plant purchases without species designation. Only the Los Alamos County hanging flower baskets solicitation (RFP26-55) and the City of Dallas plants solicitation (IFS 215260) plausibly involve fresh-cut flowers or flowering plants, yet neither specifies leucospermum calligerum or any particular genus, suggesting either miscoding or incidental use of this species within a much broader floral procurement scope.

The issuing bodies span municipal parks divisions and county procurement offices, with Los Alamos County, New Mexico and the City of Dallas, Texas representing the jurisdictions with the most recent activity aligned to floral or plant procurement. The Los Alamos County RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, solicits design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with a seven-year contract term and requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license; the contract includes local and resident-business preferences under New Mexico statute. The City of Dallas IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, is a straightforward plant purchase with FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Rd., Dallas, Texas, evaluated on lowest responsive and responsible vendor with a one-year warranty requirement. Given the code's specificity to a single protea species and the absence of any recent solicitation explicitly naming leucospermum calligerum, activity under this code appears minimal and concentrated on general plant procurement rather than this particular species.
