UNSPSC 10252405: Live tickle me pink vanda orchid

Live plant including the root ball of the tickle me pink vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10252405 Live tickle me pink vanda orchid is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single plant species, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that narrow scope. The available solicitations span landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune restoration using native plant species, environmental remediation and wetland management, IT and low-voltage infrastructure systems, and general plant procurement — work that spans multiple UNSPSC families and does not focus on vanda orchids. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida and Georgia) and a city government (Dallas), suggesting a mix of county departments and municipal purchasing offices. The mismatch between the code's nominal designation and the actual work being solicited indicates that this code sees little relevant recent activity for the plant species it names.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Florida, with three of the five opportunities originating from Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County, and one from DeKalb County, Georgia, with a single opportunity from Dallas, Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a contract value not to exceed $120,000) and Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for dune planting supply and installation at Pelican Bay Bay Colony (due March 13, 2026). Pinellas County issued an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services under a five-year contract (due July 29, 2025). The code does not show active state and local procurement interest in live tickle me pink vanda orchids specifically.
