UNSPSC 10252300: Live oncidium orchids

Live plants including the root ball of the oncidium orchids

UNSPSC 10252300 Live oncidium orchids (Class) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted under this code encompass IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County), landscape and irrigation system installation along a county road (Pasco County), coastal dune stabilization planting (Collier County), environmental site remediation and native plant management (Pinellas County), and general plant procurement (City of Dallas). Only the Dallas opportunity—a request for new plants in original packaging with firm pricing and one-year warranty—directly matches the orchid category; the other four solicitations concern site-scale landscaping, ecological restoration, and infrastructure work that fall outside the live orchid commodity scope.

The issuing bodies span county governments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a municipal city government (Dallas), with recent activity concentrated in Florida (three opportunities) and Georgia and Texas (one each). The Dallas IFS posted January 28, 2026 with a response date of February 3, 2026, and the Pasco County IFB posted March 13, 2026 with a bid due April 14, 2026. The Pinellas County RFP, posted February 26, 2026, carried an outdated proposal deadline of July 29, 2025. The code appears to lack meaningful recent state and local procurement volume in live oncidium orchids specifically; the narrow Dallas precedent suggests occasional municipal plant-supply buys, but the predominance of mismatched landscaping and environmental restoration work indicates this code does not reliably reflect current buying patterns in the state and local market.
