UNSPSC 10252033: Live phalaenopsis lueddemanniana orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252033 Live phalaenopsis lueddemanniana orchid is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific species of potted orchid, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow plant taxonomy. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span landscape construction, general nursery plant procurement, and IT infrastructure — work substantially unrelated to the purchase of live orchids. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida has posted an ITB for nursery plants and products including annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, and trees on an as-needed basis, and Pasco County is soliciting bids for median landscape and irrigation construction. Neither opportunity involves phalaenopsis orchids or orchid species procurement. State and local governments do not appear to be using this code to procure live orchids; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread evident in the recent postings is limited to Florida and Georgia. The most recent opportunity is the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for Little Road Medians Phase II landscape and irrigation construction with a response date of October 6, 2026, and the City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products, originally due July 29, 2026, with contract commencement on October 1, 2026. A third posting from DeKalb County, Georgia addresses IT infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis facility and is plainly outside the orchid procurement scope. The mismatch between the code's nominal designation and actual recent opportunities suggests either a coding error at the source or a dormant category; no active market for live phalaenopsis orchids under this code is evident in current state and local solicitations.
