UNSPSC 10252211: Live pink cymbidium orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252211 Live pink cymbidium orchid is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of plant material and horticultural services than its narrow name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of native dune plants, native wetland and restoration plantings, landscaping and irrigation installations, general plant purchases for municipal use, and comprehensive five-year environmental planting and maintenance contracts. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County in Georgia, Pasco County and Collier County in Florida, Pinellas County in Florida) and city procurement offices (City of Dallas, Texas), with Florida counties appearing frequently in recent activity. The work ranges from simple commodity plant purchases with short lead times to complex restoration projects requiring environmental certifications, species-specific expertise, and multi-year performance obligations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000 and a requirement for Florida professional licensure and compliance with stormwater permitting; Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings, closed March 13, 2026, requesting supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 225,000 square feet following 2024 hurricane damage; Pinellas County's five-year Request for Proposal for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030 with proposals due July 29, 2025, requiring State Certified Licensed Public Applicator and Aquatic Category 5A certifications; and the City of Dallas Informal Solicitation for Purchase of Plants, due February 3, 2026, with firm pricing for thirty days and a one-year warranty requirement. DeKalb County's ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center, due July 13, 2026, though nominally tagged under this code, focuses on information technology and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than plant material and is not representative of the code's actual procurement activity.
