UNSPSC 10252042: Live phalaenopsis mysorensis orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252042 Live phalaenopsis mysorensis orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single orchid species, but recent state and local procurement activity shows a substantial mismatch between the code's narrow botanical scope and what issuing bodies are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation at a recreation facility (DeKalb County), comprehensive landscaping and irrigation systems along a 2.95-mile highway corridor (Pasco County), coastal dune restoration using native plants and posts (Collier County), multi-year environmental planting and wetland monitoring services (Pinellas County), and generic plant procurement for city operations (City of Dallas). None of these solicitations concern phalaenopsis orchids or any orchid species. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all placeholder for plant and landscape work that lacks more precise UNSPSC alignment.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County) with outliers in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (City of Dallas). Issuing bodies include county governments, a municipal procurement department, and one county environmental services division. Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000, and Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune plantings with native species, due March 13, 2026. No state-level agencies or school districts appear in the recent record. Because the code itself does not align with the work being solicited, business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing an opportunity tagged to this code.
