UNSPSC 10318328: Fresh cut leucospermum catherinae

Fresh cut blooms of the catherinae variety of leucospermums

UNSPSC 10318328 Fresh cut leucospermum catherinae is a Commodity code that names a single ornamental plant species — pincushion protea flowers used in cut arrangements and landscape installations. State and local governments procure this product primarily through educational cooperatives and municipal parks and recreation departments for landscaping, floral display, and facility beautification. The solicitations under this code reflect two distinct buying patterns: bulk procurement through regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and educational institutions, and direct municipal acquisition by cities and counties for public spaces including parks, town centers, and civic facilities. Issuing bodies range from regional education service centers (which aggregate demand across multiple school districts) to individual municipalities responsible for landscape maintenance and seasonal floral programs.

Recent activity shows concentration in Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, with the most substantial opportunity appearing through Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, which issued a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies with estimated two-year expenditures of $40.677 billion across a network of school districts. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP (RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of 144 hanging flower baskets citywide, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through 2033; the County offers local, resident, and veteran business preferences. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) for plant purchases with FOB delivery to a specific address and one-year warranty requirements. Geographic spread across these three states indicates steady if episodic demand for ornamental plant material from municipal parks and landscape programs rather than consolidated regional procurement patterns.
