UNSPSC 10226090: Epidendrum

Epidendrum L. (1763) is a genus that includes about 1000 species of orchids, mostly epiphytic habits, of the Laeliinae subtribe of the family (Orchidaceae) .2 They are found in tropical America from Florida to the northern Argentina.

UNSPSC 10226090 Epidendrum, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the database. The source material contains no active solicitations tagged to this UNSPSC code and no evidence of state or local government purchasing of epidendrum plants—a tropical orchid species—at scale in recent months.

The recent opportunities posted under UNSPSC codes in the landscape and horticulture domain reflect demand for native plants, shade trees, palms, shrubs, general landscape materials, and specialized restoration plantings. Collier County procured transit shelters with integrated solar lighting and landscaping supplies; the City of Norwalk sought trees and shrubs for municipal sites; Hillsborough County bid tree replanting on scenic roadways; and Collier County called for native coastal plants and mangrove restoration stock. These procurements target functional landscaping, habitat restoration, and infrastructure beautification—not ornamental orchid cultivation. The code appears dormant in the state and local market reflected in this dataset.
