UNSPSC 10252061: Live phalaenopsis venosa orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252061 Live phalaenopsis venosa orchid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no relationship to live orchids. The five most recent solicitations—spanning DeKalb County (Georgia) IT infrastructure installation, Pasco County (Florida) roadside landscaping and irrigation, Collier County (Florida) coastal dune restoration, Pinellas County (Florida) environmental planting and wetland management, and the City of Dallas (Texas) plant purchases—address landscaping installation, environmental restoration, dune stabilization, invasive species removal, and general plant procurement. None reference orchids or orchid supply. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code assignment does not reflect the actual commodity being transacted.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. The City of Dallas IFB for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026) is the closest match to orchid supply—it requests new, unopened plants in original packaging delivered FOB to Dallas—but does not specify species and almost certainly encompasses ornamental plantings for municipal landscaping rather than phalaenopsis orchids. The remaining four opportunities are for installation labor, environmental management services, and site work rather than plant supply. State and local procurement under this Commodity code does not presently reflect live orchid sourcing; firms evaluating pursuit should verify actual commodity needs with issuing bodies before committing resources.
