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 (Commodity) covers the supply of live orchid plants, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal commodity scope. The opportunities posted under this code reflect landscaping and irrigation installation, dune restoration planting, environmental site management with native plant installation, and general plant procurement — work that spans horticultural supply and installation services across multiple project types rather than orchid-specific commerce. State and local buyers under this code include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal governments (City of Dallas, Texas), with county environmental and infrastructure departments driving the bulk of activity. The work solicited ranges from roadside landscaping and irrigation systems to coastal dune stabilization using native species and multi-year environmental restoration contracts with monitoring and reporting requirements.

Recent opportunities illustrate the geographic and functional spread. Pasco County Board of County Commissioners issued an IFB in March 2026 for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (C.R. 524) in Florida, with bids due April 14, 2026, encompassing 2.95 miles of median and right-of-way plantings and irrigation system design and installation with a contract ceiling of $120,000. Collier County, Florida, solicited bids via Quick Quote in March 2026 for supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants across 4,500 linear feet of coastal dune at Pelican Bay Bay Colony, with responses due March 13, 2026. Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for a five-year environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance contract (2025–2030) covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and wetland ecosystem management across multiple county sites. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for purchase of plants with a February 3, 2026 due date. Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with environmental restoration and public infrastructure landscaping driving demand rather than specialty orchid procurement.
