UNSPSC 10418104: Dried cut cordata foliage protea

Dried cut bloom of the cordata foliage variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418104 Dried cut cordata foliage protea is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single dried plant product, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that narrow scope. The two recent opportunities posted under the code address environmental restoration services (invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland monitoring) and general arts and craft supplies for recreational programming—neither of which involves dried protea foliage as a procurement category. The mismatch suggests either tagging errors in the source data or administrative use of the code that diverges substantially from its literal definition. State and local procurement activity under this code does not currently reflect a coherent market for dried cut foliage products.

The most recent opportunities come from Pinellas County, Florida (an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services with a response date of July 29, 2025) and Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia (an RFB for arts and craft and recreational supplies with a response date of February 25, 2026). Neither opportunity describes procurement of dried foliage or cut florals. Given the absence of relevant recent solicitations and the categorical mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought, this code does not present a meaningful procurement opportunity for vendors in the dried plant products market.
