UNSPSC 10252403: Live lavender vanda orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the lavender vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10252403 Live lavender vanda orchid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with ornamental orchid procurement. The recent solicitations tagged to this code actually span landscaping and irrigation installation, dune restoration planting, environmental remediation services, and general plant purchasing — none of which involve live lavender vanda orchids specifically. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the posting systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for horticultural procurement more broadly, rather than for a specific orchid variety. State and local governments appear to be buying native plant installation, invasive species removal, coastal dune stabilization, and general landscape materials under this code designation, but recent activity does not reflect procurement of the particular commodity the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County), Georgia (DeKalb County), and Texas (City of Dallas), with Florida dominating the recent posting volume. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for landscape and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract price not to exceed $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plants (due February 3, 2026). Because the code's recent activity does not consistently reflect live orchid procurement, vendors in ornamental horticulture should verify code assignments carefully before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
