UNSPSC 10252012: Live phalaenopsis cochlearis orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252012 Live phalaenopsis cochlearis orchid is a Commodity code that describes a single plant species, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental remediation services, and IT infrastructure — none of which align with procurement of live orchids. The code shows a categorical mismatch between its nominal scope and actual solicitation activity, suggesting either misclassification in the posting systems or obsolete tagging practices among issuing bodies.

The few opportunities present span Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), DeKalb County Georgia, and the City of Dallas, Texas, with work types including Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation (Pasco County IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), coastal dune native plant installation following hurricane damage (Collier County Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and a five-year environmental planting and monitoring contract (Pinellas County RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025). A single equipment procurement from Dallas (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) requested plant materials without specifying orchids. The code does not reliably track live orchid procurement activity at the state and local level; firms should verify actual commodity codes for horticultural and landscape materials directly with issuing offices rather than relying on this classification.
