UNSPSC 10252038: Live phalaenopsis mannii orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252038 Live phalaenopsis mannii orchid is a Commodity code that captures individual plant species purchases by state and local agencies, though recent solicitation activity shows the code sees minimal use and poor alignment with actual procurement patterns in this segment. The recent opportunities posted under this code include IT infrastructure installation at a recreation facility, landscaping and irrigation system installation along a county roadway, coastal dune restoration plantings, environmental site remediation and native plant installation, and a general plants procurement by a city—none of which involve phalaenopsis mannii orchids specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually tagged to it suggests that state and local agencies are either mistagging horticultural procurements or using higher-level plant-family codes for the majority of their solicitations.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida, where Pasco County (Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation, IFB KM-26-047, due April 14, 2026), Collier County (Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, Quick Quote, due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County (Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services 2025–2030, RFP 250628RFP, due July 29, 2025) each posted work involving native plant supply and installation. The City of Dallas posted a general plants purchase (Informal Solicitation 215260, due February 3, 2026), and DeKalb County, Georgia posted a recreation facility reconstruction that included IT infrastructure but was mistagged. The code shows no meaningful recent activity targeting phalaenopsis mannii or orchid species procurement—the low volume and mismatch with code definition suggest this Commodity sits outside active state and local procurement flows for specialized ornamental plants.
