UNSPSC 10252057: Live phalaenopsis stuartiana orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252057 Live phalaenopsis stuartiana orchid is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a single plant species, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span landscape and irrigation installation (Ridge Road corridor in Pasco County), coastal dune restoration using multiple native species (Collier County), environmental planting and invasive species management across wetlands and stormwater sites (Pinellas County), a general plant purchase for Dallas requiring new unopened stock FOB delivery, and IT infrastructure reconstruction for a tennis center in DeKalb County. Only the general plant purchase and environmental planting solicitations plausibly fit horticultural procurement; the others—particularly the IT infrastructure and dune restoration work—do not correspond to live orchid supply or installation.

The issuing bodies include counties (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a major city (Dallas), and recent opportunities span Georgia and Florida with one in Texas. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida, where three of five opportunities posted between February and June 2026. Representative recent activity includes Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) specifying native trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover with a contract cap of $120,000, Collier County's Quick Quote for dune plantings featuring 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats and dune sunflower (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services covering invasive species removal and native plant installation across multiple sites (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases with firm pricing for thirty days and one-year warranty coverage (due February 3, 2026). The code shows little recent activity specifically for live phalaenopsis orchids or ornamental horticultural supply and is likely a taxonomy mismatch rather than a viable procurement category for orchid vendors.
