UNSPSC 10418119: Dried cut sugar protea

Dried cut bloom of the sugarbloom variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418119 Dried cut sugar protea is a Commodity code that captures ornamental dried plant materials used in landscaping, environmental restoration, and recreational supply contexts. State and local governments buy under this code when sourcing decorative dried botanicals for parks, grounds maintenance, educational programming, and ecosystem restoration projects. The issuing bodies include county environmental departments and municipal parks and recreation divisions procuring materials on as-needed or annual contract bases.

Recent activity shows two distinct use cases. Pinellas County, Florida issued RFP 250628RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (due July 29, 2025) covering a five-year contract through 2030, which includes native plant installation and site maintenance across wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances; the county specified a comprehensive 150-species native plant listing aligned to ecological restoration objectives, with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 work assignment threshold. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFB No. 26-0014 (due February 25, 2026) for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies to support its Department of Parks and Recreation's After School Program, Community Schools, Seniors, Special Populations, and Recreation divisions, with estimated annual purchasing of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple vendors on a two-year contract with three optional twelve-month renewals. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia, based on these two recent solicitations. The code shows limited recent activity overall, and the connection between the nominal commodity (dried cut sugar protea) and the actual solicitations posted is unclear — neither opportunity explicitly references dried protea or similar specialty dried botanicals.
