UNSPSC 10418102: Dried cut bottle brush protea

Dried cut bloom of the bottle brush proteas

UNSPSC 10418102 Dried cut bottle brush protea is a Commodity code that nominally covers dried floral stems and botanical specimens used in ornamental arrangements, landscaping, or horticultural displays. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with dried protea procurement; instead, they reflect environmental planting, ecological restoration, and general recreational supplies purchasing. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its actual scope — no state or local solicitations in the dataset reflect procurement of dried cut bottle brush protea or comparable dried botanical products.

The two opportunities present illustrate the mismatch. Pinellas County issued an RFP (250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services focused on invasive species removal, native plant installation, and wetland ecosystem restoration across specific sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park — a scope centered on living native vegetation and environmental compliance, not dried florals. Columbus Consolidated Government issued an RFB (PE70662NONST2026000000093, due February 25, 2026) for arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies through its Parks and Recreation Department with an estimated annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000 — a general supplies contract unrelated to protea products. Buyers pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual commodity being solicited before committing resources; the code assignment appears inconsistent with both recent postings.
