UNSPSC 10418106: Dried cut green mink protea

Dried cut bloom of the green mink variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418106 Dried cut green mink protea is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code — an environmental planting and monitoring services RFP from Pinellas County, Florida, and an arts and craft supplies request for bids from Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia — are both substantially unrelated to dried cut green mink protea or floriculture products generally. The environmental services solicitation centers on invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland restoration across mitigation sites and stormwater treatment areas, with contractor requirements for pesticide applicator certifications and wetland ecology expertise. The arts and craft supplies procurement seeks discount pricing on hobby and recreational materials for parks and recreation programming. Neither represents actual demand for processed or cut protea flowers.

The geographic spread indicated by these mismatched opportunities spans Florida and Georgia, but does not signal genuine market activity for the commodity itself. Pinellas County's RFP, posted February 26, 2026, with a proposal due date of July 29, 2025, seeks environmental services on a five-year contract with potential two 12-month extensions and includes SBE participation provisions with a not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 per work assignment. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFQ No. 26-0014, posted February 4, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, projects annual spending of $30,000 to $50,000 across a two-year base contract term with three optional renewal periods. Neither opportunity reflects procurement of dried cut green mink protea or related floral commodities. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify tagging accuracy at the source; the recent record suggests the code is either misapplied in these jurisdictions or unused for its intended floriculture scope.
