UNSPSC 10252053: Live phalaenopsis sanderiana orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252053 Live phalaenopsis sanderiana orchid, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific species of living orchid plant, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass infrastructure reconstruction, landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental site management, and general plant procurement—none of which involve phalaenopsis orchids. State and local issuing bodies in the recent activity include county departments of innovation and technology, county boards of commissioners, and city procurement offices; the work solicited ranges from IT and low-voltage systems to multi-acre native plant installation and dune stabilization. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the breadth of work actually being purchased suggests either tagging errors in the opportunities or a code designation that no longer reflects current procurement practice.

Geographic activity in the recent record concentrates in Florida, with opportunities from Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County, alongside procurement from Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (City of Dallas). Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with a contract not-to-exceed value of $120,000.00 and responses due April 14, 2026; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune native plant supply and installation (56,250 plants across 4,500 linear feet) with responses due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with proposals due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchase with responses due February 3, 2026. None of these solicitations are for phalaenopsis orchids; the code appears to carry little active procurement relevance in the current state and local marketplace.
