UNSPSC 10252045: Live phalaenopsis parishii orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252045 Live phalaenopsis parishii orchid is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sees minimal direct use in public procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span landscape construction, nursery plant procurement, and IT infrastructure — none of which align with the specialized horticultural scope of a single orchid species. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' Little Road Medians Phase II project (IFB IFBKM27004, due October 6, 2026) concerns median landscape and irrigation construction across 9 miles. The City of Altamonte Springs' nursery plants and products ITB (ITB26085KY, re-bid, due July 29, 2026) encompasses general landscaping plants including annuals, plugs, trees, and grass seed on an as-needed basis, with no mention of phalaenopsis orchids. A third posting from DeKalb County (ITB 2026-076-ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction) addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure and bears no relationship to the code's horticultural intent. The misalignment between the code's description and the work actually being solicited suggests this code carries minimal relevance to active state and local procurement.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs' nursery plant contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options, requiring vendors to meet Florida-specific compliance including Sunbiz registration, Business Tax Receipt, E-Verify documentation, and attestations regarding the State of Florida Scrutinized List and federal excluded-parties status. Delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 must occur within 15 days for in-stock items or 30 days for special orders, with bidders required to carry $1 million Commercial General Liability and Commercial Auto Liability coverage. The code shows no evidence of meaningful use in state and local procurement aligned to live phalaenopsis parishii orchid procurement.
