UNSPSC 10252065: Live phalaenopsis zebrina orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252065 Live phalaenopsis zebrina orchid is a Commodity code that appears to capture ornamental plant procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no activity in live phalaenopsis zebrina orchids or comparable specialty nursery stock. Instead, the code's recent postings reflect landscape and coastal restoration work—native dune plantings, roadside median landscaping with irrigation, invasive species removal paired with native plant installation, and general plant purchases for municipal grounds. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida), a city government (Dallas), and county environmental divisions. The work spans labor-intensive installation and maintenance contracts as well as commodity-style plant supply purchases, suggesting the code captures a broad range of horticultural procurement that extends well beyond the narrower taxonomic label.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, with three of five postings from Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties, plus one from DeKalb County, Georgia, and one from Dallas, Texas. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026, budget capped at $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings involving 56,250 native plants across 225,000 square feet (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services including invasive species removal and native plant installation (response due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for general plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The code shows consistent activity in native plant restoration tied to environmental compliance and coastal resilience rather than specialty orchid procurement, signaling a material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under it.
