UNSPSC 10252016: Live phalaenopsis doweryënsis orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252016 Live phalaenopsis doweryënsis orchid is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no activity matching orchid procurement. Instead, the code has been applied to landscaping, irrigation installation, coastal dune planting, environmental restoration services, and general plant purchasing—work that spans native plant installation, invasive species removal, dune stabilization with native vegetation, and sourcing of live plant material for municipal grounds maintenance. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and a city (Dallas, Texas), with Pasco County and Collier County showing coastal and environmental restoration focus. Work ranges from roadside irrigation and landscaping to multi-year environmental monitoring and reporting contracts with compliance obligations tied to wetland permits and sea turtle nesting protocols.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic concentration in Florida, where Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (response date April 14, 2026), Collier County solicited bids for coastal dune planting using native species including sea oats and railroad vine via Quick Quote process (response date March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with State Certified Licensed Public Applicator certification requirements (response date July 29, 2025). DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction that included IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than plant material (response date July 13, 2026), representing a clear code mismatch. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for general plant purchase (response date February 3, 2026) with no species specification. The code shows substantial activity volume, but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (phalaenopsis orchid) and actual procurement (landscape, irrigation, and environmental restoration services and materials) suggests either miscategorization in the source data or a code used as a fallback for diverse horticultural procurement.
