UNSPSC 10252048: Live phalaenopsis pulcherrima orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252048 Live phalaenopsis pulcherrima orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single plant species, yet the most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal alignment with that narrow scope. The recent opportunities instead reflect broader landscaping plant procurement — annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, trees, and irrigation construction services. The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida issued an ITB for nursery plants and products across four product groups on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed purchase quantities, while Pasco County sought bids for median landscape and irrigation construction spanning 9 miles along Little Road. A third opportunity, posted by DeKalb County for IT infrastructure at a tennis center reconstruction, appears unrelated to the code's plant-related scope. The issuing bodies include county governments and municipalities; city procurement offices are active in this space as grounds-maintenance budgets extend to contractual plant supply.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the two landscape-focused solicitations originating in those states. The City of Altamonte Springs' ITB 26-085-KY, posted August 24, 2026 with a response deadline of July 29, 2026 (already passed as of the current date), offered plugs, trees, plants, and grass seed on a five-year renewable contract term commencing October 1, 2026, with required insurance, Florida Sunbiz registration, and compliance certifications. Pasco County's IFB IFBKM27004 for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II closed October 6, 2026. The mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation activity suggests this code may not be the primary classification vehicle for live plant procurement in state and local systems, or that jurisdictions apply it inconsistently across broader landscaping supply and construction.
