UNSPSC 10252004: Live phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the appendiculata variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10252004 Live phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve landscaping median construction, general nursery plant procurement, and tennis center reconstruction with IT infrastructure — none of which specifically call for live phalaenopsis appendiculata orchids or ornamental orchids as a primary procurement category. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida ITB 26-085-KY does reference general landscaping plants including annuals, potted plants, and plugs, but the scope focuses on high-volume commodity plant categories (four to thirteen varieties per group, ranging from 30 to 2,500 units annually) rather than specialty orchid specimens. No recent solicitations explicitly target orchid procurement as a discrete commodity line item.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings, with the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners (Little Road Medians Phase II IFB, due October 6, 2026) and City of Altamonte Springs (Nursery Plants & Products ITB 26-085-KY, due July 29, 2026) in Florida, and DeKalb County (Tennis Center reconstruction ITB, due July 13, 2026) in Georgia. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local buyers appear to procure landscaping plants through broad commodity categories rather than by individual species. Practitioners should verify whether this code is being applied appropriately in state and local procurement systems, as the nominal commodity does not match the scope of work currently tagged to it.
