UNSPSC 10251700: Live cattleya orchids

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

UNSPSC 10251700 Live cattleya orchids is a Class code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—live cattleya orchids, a specific ornamental plant species—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The five most recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure installation (DeKalb County), landscape and irrigation installation along a roadway median (Pasco County), coastal dune restoration planting (Collier County), environmental site remediation and native plant management (Pinellas County), and generic plant purchase (City of Dallas). Only the Dallas procurement—a simple plants purchase order—bears any direct connection to procurement of plant materials; the others represent landscape design-build, ecological restoration, and infrastructure work misclassified under the orchids code.

The issuing-body mix spans county governments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties in Florida and Georgia), a major city (Dallas), and includes both infrastructure-focused and environmental-services procurement. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida, where Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties each posted work in the first quarter of 2026. The City of Dallas posted a straightforward plant-purchase IFB due February 3, 2026. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road due April 14, 2026 with a not-to-exceed contract value of $120,000. Collier County solicited bids for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings via Quick Quote due March 13, 2026, for approximately 56,250 native dune plants and related erosion-control materials. Pinellas County released an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services due July 29, 2025, covering a five-year term with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 work-assignment threshold. The code does not reflect genuine orchid procurement and appears to be a data-quality issue within the state and local procurement system's classification process.
