UNSPSC 10252200: Live cymbidium orchids

Live plants including the root ball of the cymbidium type of orchids

UNSPSC 10252200 Live cymbidium orchids is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of ornamental plants and landscaping materials, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of environmental planting and vegetation management work. State and local governments solicit under this code for native plant installation, dune restoration, invasive species removal, irrigation system installation, and general landscape supplies. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, DeKalb County), municipalities (City of Dallas), and special-purpose agencies. The work ranges from emergency coastal dune stabilization with native species following hurricane damage to multi-year environmental management contracts with monitoring and compliance reporting to routine municipal plant procurement for landscaping materials.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (Ridge Road C.R. 524) from Broad Street to Moon Lake Road, posted March 13, 2026, due April 14, 2026, with a total contract price not to exceed $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) across 225,000 square feet of coastal dune in the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, posted and due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services for a five-year contract period (2025–2030) covering invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, and site maintenance at mitigation sites, wetlands, and stormwater ponds, posted February 26, 2026, due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for Purchase of Plants, posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026.
