UNSPSC 10251500: Live cypripedium or ladys slipper orchids

Live plants including the root ball of the cypripedium type of orchids

UNSPSC 10251500 Live cypripedium or lady's slipper orchids is a Class code that shows limited recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve landscape and irrigation construction, general nursery plants and products procurement, and IT infrastructure installation—none of which directly match the specific commodity of live lady's slipper orchids. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners IFB for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II and the City of Altamonte Springs ITB for nursery plants and products (annuals, plugs, potted plants, trees, and grass seeds) span broader horticultural procurement, while the DeKalb County ITB for tennis center reconstruction focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure and falls entirely outside the orchid category scope. State and local governments do source live specialty orchids through cooperative purchasing and as-needed contracts, but this code shows no recent dedicated orchid solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Pasco County and Altamonte Springs) and Georgia (DeKalb County). The City of Altamonte Springs ITB 26-085-KY, posted August 24, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026, requested multiple plant groups on an as-needed basis with initial one-year term and renewal options up to five years; the scope included plugs, trees, annuals, and grass seed with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 days for in-stock items. The Pasco County IFB IFBKM27004, posted September 2, 2026 with bids due October 6, 2026, covered median landscape and irrigation construction spanning approximately 9 miles of Little Road. Neither opportunity explicitly targets live orchids, suggesting this code may be underutilized or misaligned with actual state and local procurement patterns in the available data.
