UNSPSC 10251701: Live white cattleya orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the white variety of cattleya orchid

UNSPSC 10251701 Live white cattleya orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single species of ornamental plant, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect orchid procurement at all. The recent opportunities in the source record landscaping and irrigation installation (Pasco County's Ridge Road irrigation and planting project), coastal dune restoration with native plants (Collier County's Pelican Bay dune plantings), multi-year environmental restoration contracting (Pinellas County's five-year invasive removal and native plant installation program), and generic plant purchases (the City of Dallas's plant procurement ITB). A general plants purchase by Dallas does appear in the record, but the code's narrow orchid taxonomy does not align with the actual work being solicited — which centers on landscaping materials, native species restoration, invasive removal, and landscape installation rather than live cattleya orchids specifically. State and local procurement bodies posting under this code are counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a city (Dallas), and a special-purpose district (DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure work), with activity concentrated in Florida and Texas.

The geographic spread shows active recent solicitations in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County all posting in March 2026) and Texas (City of Dallas posting in January 2026), with one outlier in Georgia (DeKalb County's June 2026 infrastructure reconstruction). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a $120,000 contract cap), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune restoration with native plant supply and installation (due March 13, 2026, pricing line-item basis), Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025, with SBE participation provisions and a $100,000 not-to-exceed threshold for work assignments), and the City of Dallas's IFS for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026, FOB delivery to a Dallas site). The mismatch between the code's orchid taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity for live white cattleya orchid sourcing in state and local markets.
