UNSPSC 10252055: Live phalaenopsis speciosa orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252055 Live phalaenopsis speciosa orchid is a Commodity code that covers the supply of ornamental plants, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orchid procurement — instead, they center on landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental remediation and native plant management, and general plant supply for municipal operations. The issuing bodies span county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and city procurement (City of Dallas, Texas), with no standout repeat buyers across the recent opportunities. Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County have each issued one solicitation in the past four months, suggesting modest but ongoing activity in ornamental and environmental planting work across Florida and Texas jurisdictions.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas. Recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower (response due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning five years from 2025 to 2030 (proposal deadline July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchase (response due February 3, 2026). The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope (phalaenopsis orchid) and actual procurement activity, which emphasizes landscape installation, native plant restoration, and grounds maintenance rather than orchid supply. State and local governments appear not to be buying phalaenopsis orchids under this code at present.
