UNSPSC 10252300: Live oncidium orchids

Live plants including the root ball of the oncidium orchids

UNSPSC 10252300 Live oncidium orchids is a Class code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually procuring under it. The recent opportunities record reflects landscape and nursery plant purchasing — annuals, plugs, potted plants, trees, and grass seed for municipal grounds maintenance and construction — rather than live orchids specifically. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida have posted solicitations for general landscaping plants and median construction work; neither involves orchids. One recent ITB tagged under this code (DeKalb County's Tennis Center reconstruction) concerns IT and low-voltage infrastructure, which is unrelated to the code's botanical scope and appears to be a classification error. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county commissions and municipal procurement offices focused on grounds and facility maintenance.

The recent activity centers on Florida, with Pasco County soliciting median landscape and irrigation construction along Little Road due October 6, 2026 (IFB IFBKM27004), and the City of Altamonte Springs issuing an ITB for landscaping plants and products on an as-needed basis with an October 1, 2026 contract start date (ITB26085KY). The Altamonte Springs ITB specifies plugs, trees, annuals, and grass seed in defined quantities, with delivery to zip codes 32701 and 32714 within 15 to 30 days, and requires Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Florida Sunbiz registration, and compliance with state scrutiny lists. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its stated botanical focus, and business development professionals should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this category.
