UNSPSC 10361802: Fresh cut orange disa orchid

Fresh cut blooms of the orange variety of disa orchids

UNSPSC 10361802 Fresh cut orange disa orchid is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific ornamental flower product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that narrow scope. The single opportunity clearly related to the code's horticultural intent — Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets design, installation, and maintenance — involves living flowering plants in containers across multiple years, not cut orchids. The remaining opportunities in the recent record (Fulton County landscape maintenance for pollinator and rain gardens, Hillsborough County Public Schools landscape and irrigation services, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative educational supplies, and DeKalb County tennis center IT infrastructure reconstruction) are unrelated to either fresh cut flowers or orchids and appear to have been tagged to this code in error or through overly broad taxonomy application. The code does not reflect active, focused state and local procurement demand for its nominal product line.

The single representative opportunity is Los Alamos County's RFP26-55, posted May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026, soliciting design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets (136 currently installed plus 8 reserves) across town streets. The contractor must hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, supply all plant material, maintain drip irrigation, and replace any plants failing within ten days of installation at no cost to the County. Evaluation weights qualifications and experience (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points). A pre-proposal conference was held May 13, 2026; the estimated award date is July 14, 2026. Los Alamos County extends local-business, New Mexico resident-business, and Native American veteran-business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21. The code shows little substantive recent activity aligned to fresh cut orchid procurement at state and local level.
