UNSPSC 10252202: Live green cymbidium orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the green variety of cymbidium orchids

UNSPSC 10252202 Live green cymbidium orchid is a Commodity code that covers live ornamental plants for landscaping, grounds beautification, and environmental restoration projects. State and local governments buy plant materials under this code as part of broader capital improvement and environmental management initiatives—from routine landscape installations and grounds maintenance to coastal dune stabilization, wetland mitigation, and native habitat restoration. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span city departments (Dallas Parks and Recreation), county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), and smaller special-purpose divisions. Recent solicitations show demand for diverse plant types: native dune species (sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, dune sunflower) for coastal restoration; generic ornamental plants for municipal grounds; and native plant species (150-plant inventories) for wetland and stormwater facility mitigation. Projects range from small routine plant purchases to large-scale restoration contracts involving site preparation, installation labor, warranties, and post-installation monitoring.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with four posted solicitations in the first quarter of 2026. The City of Dallas, Texas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchase with a February 3, 2026 response deadline; Pasco County posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB KM26047) for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road with a $120,000 contract value and April 14, 2026 bid opening; Collier County issued a Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet) with a March 13, 2026 deadline; and Pinellas County released a Request for Proposal (RFP 250628RFP) for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with a July 29, 2025 submission deadline. DeKalb County, Georgia posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB 2026-076-ITB) for Tennis Center reconstruction on June 9, 2026 with a July 13, 2026 deadline, though the opportunity description focuses primarily on IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than live plants, suggesting code-tagging misalignment in that instance.
