UNSPSC 10252039: Live phalaenopsis mariae orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252039 Live phalaenopsis mariae orchid is a Commodity code that captures a single plant species, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to live phalaenopsis orchids; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broad landscape and environmental restoration work including irrigation installation, coastal dune plantings with native species, environmental monitoring and maintenance contracts, and general plant procurement. The mix of issuing bodies includes county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida; Dallas in Texas) and special-purpose districts, with work spanning infrastructure-tied landscaping, hurricane-recovery dune stabilization, wetland and stormwater restoration, and municipal plant supply. The geographic spread concentrates in Florida (four of five recent opportunities) and Texas, reflecting coastal restoration priorities and ongoing municipal landscaping demand.

Recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road spanning 2.95 miles with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and bids due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings supplying approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) following 2024 hurricane damage, with bids due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP 250628RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetland and stormwater sites with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the nominal code scope (a single orchid variety) and actual recent procurements (landscape restoration, invasive plant removal, native species installation, and stormwater management) indicates that the code assignment may reflect a data-tagging error rather than representative market activity.
