UNSPSC 10252209: Live dark pink cymbidium orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the dark pink variety of cymbidium orchids

UNSPSC 10252209 Live dark pink cymbidium orchid is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span landscaping and irrigation installation, dune restoration planting, environmental remediation and monitoring, and general plant procurement—none of which involve live dark pink cymbidium orchids or specialty ornamental houseplants. The DeKalb County ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, for example, is primarily an IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation project incidentally involving the construction of a pro shop building; the code appears to be a misclassification in the source records. The remaining three opportunities—Pasco County's landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, Collier County's coastal dune native plant restoration, and Pinellas County's five-year environmental planting and wetland maintenance RFP—involve native species, turf, ground covers, and coastal restoration plants procured in volume, not specialty cut flowers or potted orchids.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope. When a code consistently receives opportunities that do not match its nominal product description, the mismatch signals either systematic miscoding in the source database or that the commodity itself does not appear in recent state and local demand. Firms sourcing live dark pink cymbidium orchids to state and local buyers—school districts, botanical gardens, municipal conservatories, or special events—should monitor broader landscaping and horticultural codes or track opportunities individually rather than relying on this commodity classifier.
