UNSPSC 10418100: Dried cut proteas

Dried cut blooms including the root ball of proteas

UNSPSC 10418100 Dried cut proteas is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses environmental management services, including invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, site maintenance, and regulatory monitoring—work substantially broader than the code's nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include counties and city governments. Pinellas County, Florida has posted a five-year environmental services RFP targeting native plant installation and wetland ecosystem restoration across mitigation sites, stormwater treatment ponds, and surface water conveyances, while Columbus Consolidated Government issued an annual arts and craft and recreational supplies RFB. The environmental work dominates the visible activity and requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and aquatic applicator certifications, indicating a focus on ecological restoration and compliance-driven environmental compliance work rather than cut-flower procurement.

The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent postings. Pinellas County's environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services RFP, posted February 26, 2026, with a due date of July 29, 2025, seeks qualified firms for invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and site maintenance under a potential five-year term with two 12-month extensions, with SBE participation provisions and a not-to-exceed work assignment threshold of $100,000. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0014 for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies, posted February 4, 2026, with a due date of February 25, 2026, targets approximately $30,000 to $50,000 in annual purchases for the Department of Parks and Recreation on a two-year term with three optional 12-month renewals. The environmental services opportunity aligns more closely with the code's historical taxonomy; the arts and craft supplies RFB appears unrelated to dried cut proteas and reflects a potential code-tagging mismatch in the source data.
