UNSPSC 10252301: Live golden shower oncidium orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the golden shower oncidium orchids

UNSPSC 10252301 Live golden shower oncidium orchid is a Commodity code that represents a specific horticultural product — living orchid plants of the oncidium genus, golden shower variety — but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal commodity scope. State and local governments do post occasional plant procurement notices, but the opportunities recorded here address general landscaping and environmental restoration work (dune stabilization, wetland mitigation, stormwater pond maintenance, roadside median planting) rather than purchases of live orchid specimens. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida; Dallas in Texas) and range from infrastructure reconstruction and coastal environmental management to routine horticultural supply. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomic designation for plant-related procurements rather than as a precise identifier of orchid purchases specifically.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties), with recent opportunities also posted by DeKalb County, Georgia, and the City of Dallas, Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (response due April 14, 2026, with a contract not-to-exceed of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings (response due March 13, 2026, encompassing 56,250 native dune plants), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting and maintenance services over five years (proposal due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases (response due February 3, 2026). None of these opportunities explicitly solicits live oncidium orchids; instead they seek native vegetation, general landscaping materials, or environmental restoration services. The code shows limited relevant activity for vendors specializing in orchid supply to state and local buyers.
