UNSPSC 10252104: Live fatima dendrobium orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the fatima variety of dendrobium orchids

UNSPSC 10252104 Live fatima dendrobium orchid is a Commodity code that nominally names a single plant species, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity aligned with the code's name. The five opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span IT infrastructure installation, roadway landscaping and irrigation, coastal dune restoration with native plants, environmental planting and monitoring services, and general plant procurement — none of which involve fatima dendrobium orchids specifically. The code appears to serve as a catchall for plant-related goods and services rather than the narrow commodity its name suggests, though the mismatch between code designation and actual procurement scope makes this code's utility as a targeting mechanism questionable for vendors seeking work in horticultural niches.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with three of the five recent opportunities issued by Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County, while Pelican Bay Services Division (Collier County) issued a separate Quick Quote for coastal dune plantings and the City of Dallas posted a general plant purchase IFB. Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026) specified native tree, shrub, palm, and groundcover installation with Hunter brand irrigation components and a $120,000 contract ceiling. Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration RFQ (due March 13, 2026) called for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune. Pinellas County's five-year RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (due July 29, 2025) covers invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and regulatory-compliant monitoring at mitigation sites and wetlands with an SBE work threshold of $100,000. The City of Dallas's IFS for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026) requires new, unopened goods shipped FOB to a Dallas address with a one-year warranty. This code shows sporadic state and local activity with no clear repeat issuing body or concentrated procurement pattern beyond Florida's coastal and environmental restoration work.
