UNSPSC 10252034: Live phalaenopsis mambo orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252034 Live phalaenopsis mambo orchid is a Commodity code that nominally names a single plant species, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader range of landscape planting and environmental restoration work bearing little connection to the orchid specification. The solicitations show state and local governments purchasing comprehensive landscaping and irrigation installation services, native plant material for coastal dune stabilization and wetland restoration, and multi-year environmental planting and maintenance contracts that include invasive species removal and regulatory compliance monitoring. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida and Georgia) and a major city procurement office (City of Dallas), indicating that landscaping and environmental services procurement spans both general-purpose jurisdictions and specialized environmental stewardship initiatives. The work is operational—not speculative—and includes furnishing plant materials, labor, installation, testing, watering, soil amendments, signage, fencing, and site-specific field adjustments to accommodate topography and environmental constraints.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Florida, with recent opportunities from Pasco County (Ridge Road median landscaping and irrigation, $120,000 contract ceiling, IFB due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings using sea oats and native dune species, Quick Quote process, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance RFP for wetlands and stormwater sites, due July 29, 2025). Outside Florida, DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026), which is unrelated to plant procurement, and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) with no specified budget or plant species detail. The code's tagging appears misaligned with actual procurement activity—the orchid commodity does not match the landscape installation, dune restoration, and environmental services work dominating recent opportunities in the dataset.
