UNSPSC 10252404: Live purple vanda orchid

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

UNSPSC 10252404 Live purple vanda orchid is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single plant species, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the code's stated scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span median landscape and irrigation construction, general nursery plants and landscaping products (annuals, plugs, trees, grass seed), and IT infrastructure for a recreation facility — none of which involve live purple vanda orchids specifically. The code appears to be a catch-all or mislabeled classification within state and local procurement systems; opportunities posted under it reflect broad landscaping and horticultural procurement rather than the specialized orchid product the code nominally describes.

Issuing bodies using this code include county commissioners (Pasco County, Florida), municipalities (City of Altamonte Springs, Florida; DeKalb County, Georgia), and special-purpose recreation authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs posted an ITB on August 24, 2026 for nursery plants and products on an as-needed basis with bids due July 29, 2026, requesting plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seeds across four product groups with awards by group to the lowest-cost responsive bidder. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners posted an IFB on September 2, 2026 for median landscape and irrigation construction Phase II along Little Road, with bids due October 6, 2026, covering design, planting, and irrigation installation across approximately 9 miles. The code shows limited targeted activity for live vanda orchids in particular; procurement professionals should verify whether this Commodity code remains active for horticultural contracting or represents legacy classification requiring reclassification.
