UNSPSC 10252043: Live phalaenopsis pallens orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252043 Live phalaenopsis pallens orchid is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific ornamental plant variety, yet the recent opportunities posted under it include median landscape and irrigation construction, general nursery plants and grass seeds, and IT infrastructure installation—work that bears no relation to live orchid procurement. Of the three opportunities tagged to this code, only one involves plant materials at all, and that solicitation (the City of Altamonte Springs nursery plants contract) explicitly covers annuals, potted plants, plugs, trees, and grass seed with no mention of orchids or phalaenopsis species.

The geographic spread across the recent records reflects Florida and Georgia activity, with Pasco County and Altamonte Springs in Florida pursuing landscape-related work and DeKalb County in Georgia soliciting IT infrastructure services. The City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY for nursery plants and products, due July 29, 2026, represents an as-needed, when-needed contract for multiple plant groups awarded by category to the lowest-cost responsive bidder, with an initial term commencing October 1, 2026 for one year plus four optional one-year renewals. However, this opportunity does not specify orchids or phalaenopsis pallens as a required commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than an indicator of active state and local demand for live orchid procurement.
