UNSPSC 10418120: Dried cut susara protea

Dried cut bloom of the susara variety of proteas

UNSPSC 10418120 Dried cut susara protea is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal alignment to its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged under this code show no direct procurement of dried cut susara protea or related floral materials. Instead, Pinellas County posted an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services covering invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance across multiple sites including McMullen Booth Stormwater Pond and Eagle Lake Park. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued a request for bids for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Department of Parks and Recreation, spanning items used by after-school programs, community schools, and recreation divisions. Neither opportunity involves procurement of dried protea flowers or similar cut botanical products, suggesting the code's application in these cases does not reflect the work actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies represent typical local government purchasing: a county environmental services office and a municipal parks and recreation department. Geographically, recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County's RFP closes July 29, 2025, with a five-year contract term (2025–2030) for environmental services at specified wetland and stormwater sites; the solicitation includes SBE participation provisions with a not-to-exceed threshold of $100,000 on work assignments and requires State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB 26-0014, due February 25, 2026, seeks multiple vendors for arts and craft supplies on a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals, with anticipated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 and delivery required within ten days of order. The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried cut susara protea procurement at the state and local level.
