UNSPSC 10252032: Live phalaenopsis lowii orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252032 Live phalaenopsis lowii orchid is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific orchid species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it show minimal relevance to live plant procurement. The solicitations posted under this code include IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a recreation facility in Georgia, landscaping and irrigation system installation along a county road in Florida, coastal dune restoration with native plantings in Florida, environmental remediation and native plant management services across Florida, and generic plant purchases by the City of Dallas. Only the dune planting and environmental services work involve actual plant material installation; the others address infrastructure, landscaping design, or unspecified botanical stock. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact, with issuing bodies including county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) and a major city (Dallas), none of which have posted multiple opportunities under this specific orchid code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida—Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay dune plantings Quick Quote due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (environmental planting and maintenance RFP due July 29, 2025)—with outlier activity in Georgia (DeKalb County, ITB due July 13, 2026) and Texas (City of Dallas plant purchase IFS due February 3, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned to live phalaenopsis orchids; state and local buyers use it inconsistently or as a default classification for plant-related work spanning infrastructure, native species restoration, and general botanical supplies. Pursuit under this code is not advisable without clarification from issuing jurisdictions on intended scope.
