UNSPSC 10418116: Dried cut repens protea

Dried cut bloom of the repens variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418116 Dried cut repens protea is a Commodity code for ornamental floral materials; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows minimal alignment with dried floral products. The two recent opportunities posted under the code involve environmental services and arts-and-craft supplies, neither of which reflects the nominal scope of dried cut flowers. Pinellas County's February 2026 RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services seeks five-year environmental management covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and site maintenance at stormwater facilities and parks—work unrelated to dried floral procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government's February 2026 RFB for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies targets annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000 across parks and recreation divisions, which covers craft materials but not dried florals. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried cut repens protea or comparable dried-flower products under state and local procurement.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government) based on the available opportunities, though this pairing reflects the mismatch noted above rather than evidence of sustained market demand for dried cut flowers in state and local procurement. The Pinellas County RFP, due July 29, 2025, requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A applicator certifications and targets a 60-month initial term with two optional 12-month extensions; the county includes SBE participation provisions with a $100,000 not-to-exceed threshold for work assignments. The Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB, due February 25, 2026, seeks discount bids for multi-vendor supply, with a two-year base term and three optional one-year renewals. Neither solicitation represents a meaningful market signal for dried cut florals under this code.
