UNSPSC 10252036: Live phalaenopsis maculata orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252036 Live phalaenopsis maculata orchid is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of living orchid plants for use by state and local governments. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal orchid scope. The five most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code involve IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction, roadside landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental site management with native species, and general plant procurement—none of which specifically call for phalaenopsis maculata orchids. The mismatch suggests either broad tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a placeholder for general plant and landscaping services rather than as a specific orchid commodity.

Activity under this code spans Florida counties (Collier, Pasco, Pinellas), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with recent solicitations issued between January and June 2026. The issuing bodies include a county board of commissioners, a county services division, a city procurement office, a county department of innovation and technology, and a county environmental services function. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026 at $120,000 total contract value), Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune native plantings following 2024 hurricane damage (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plant procurement (due February 3, 2026). The code shows no distinct concentration among repeat buyers and no active set-aside or preference programs identified across the opportunities, aside from Pasco County's local vendor preference program, which was not applicable due to state and federal funding involvement in that project.
