UNSPSC 10361601: Fresh cut mocara omyai orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the mocara omyai variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10361601 Fresh cut mocara omyai orchid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no consistent relationship to fresh cut orchids or florals. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Three of the four most recent opportunities tagged to this code concern educational supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), IT infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County), and hanging flower basket maintenance (Los Alamos County)—none of which match fresh cut orchid procurement. Only the City of Dallas Plants IFS from January 2026 approaches plant-related procurement, and it is unspecified as to genus or species, requesting only "plants" for delivery to a Dallas facility with no detail on whether the purchase included orchids or what variety.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or a code that is seldom used for its intended purpose in state and local procurement. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies RFP (due July 30, 2026, with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion), the Los Alamos County hanging baskets RFP (due June 4, 2026, with a seven-year contract term and weighted evaluation criteria including qualifications, references, design, and cost), and the City of Dallas Plants IFS (due February 3, 2026, FOB Dallas with one-year warranty) are the only recent postings. Until recent opportunities consistently align with fresh cut orchid scope, this code warrants close attention to actual issuing-body intent at bid time rather than reliance on the code name alone.
