UNSPSC 10418108: Dried cut king protea

Dried cut bloom of the king variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418108 Dried cut king protea is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch: Pinellas County's environmental planting and wetland management RFP (solicitation 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) concerns native plant installation, invasive species removal, and ecological restoration services across wetlands and stormwater sites — work that involves living plants in situ rather than dried cut florals — and Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies RFB (solicitation PE70662NONST2026000000093, due February 25, 2026) covers general recreational and hobby materials for parks and recreation programming, with no connection to protea or specialty dried flowers. Neither opportunity reflects procurement of dried cut king protea as a product.

State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting dried cut king protea under this code in current market activity. The tagging discrepancy suggests either coding errors in recent state and local procurement systems or that this commodity occupies a minimal niche in state and local buying — possibly limited to specialized florist supplies, botanical research institutions, or event decoration through general supplies contracts rather than dedicated protea procurement. No representative recent opportunities for dried cut king protea exist in the source.
