UNSPSC 10251602: Live mocara red orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the mocara red variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10251602 Live mocara red orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations show the code being applied to broader landscape supply and planting work. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued an IFB in September 2026 for median landscape and irrigation construction along 9 miles of Little Road, encompassing design, planting, and irrigation installation — scope that extends well beyond a single plant SKU. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an ITB in August 2026 for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis, including annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seed across four product groups with annual volumes ranging from 30 to 4,200 units per variety. These solicitations suggest the code is being used as a catch-all for ornamental plant procurement and landscape-related supplies rather than as a strict botanical identifier.

Both recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida, with Pasco County and the City of Altamonte Springs as issuing bodies. The Altamonte Springs ITB requires delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 days for in-stock items or up to 30 days for special orders; the contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options, renewable to five years total. Bidders must meet Florida-specific compliance requirements including Sunbiz registration, Business Tax Receipt, E-Verify enrollment, notarized conflict-of-interest and human trafficking attestations, and verification against the State of Florida's Scrutinized List and Federal Excluded Parties List. Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Commercial Auto Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit are required. A third opportunity — DeKalb County's ITB for tennis center reconstruction in Georgia — is plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope and appears to be a classification error, consisting of IT and low voltage infrastructure work.
