UNSPSC 10418101: Dried cut bouquet protea

Dried cut bloom of the bouquet variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418101 Dried cut bouquet protea is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of floral and botanical products used in environmental restoration, landscaping, and recreational programming. Recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to two distinct work streams: environmental planting and native plant installation services tied to wetland mitigation and ecological restoration, and general arts, craft, and recreational supply procurement that may include decorative or craft-grade floral materials. The issuing bodies are mixed — county environmental and stormwater management departments alongside municipal parks and recreation divisions — suggesting the code serves both specialized ecological contracting and routine departmental supply acquisition.

Pinellas County, Florida, posted an environmental services RFP (250628RFP) on February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025, seeking a five-year contract for invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and environmental monitoring across mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater ponds including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, due February 25, 2026, to supply arts and craft and recreational items (including potential floral materials) to its Parks and Recreation Department on an as-needed basis with an expected annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000. The geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with no recent opportunities recorded outside Florida and Georgia. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—dried cut bouquet protea—and the actual solicitations suggests the code is underutilized or mislabeled for current state and local procurement; the environmental services and general recreational supply purchases documented do not clearly target dried protea as a primary commodity.
