UNSPSC 10362004: Fresh cut phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the appendiculata variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362004 Fresh cut phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid is a Commodity code that nominally refers to a specific live-plant product; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with the procurement of cut orchids, and instead reflect landscape maintenance, irrigation services, and educational supplies solicitations that appear misclassified or tangentially related to the code's scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily county governments and school districts. Fulton County, Georgia and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida have each posted landscape and irrigation maintenance services; Los Alamos County in New Mexico sought hanging flower basket design and maintenance; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a cooperative educational supplies catalog bid. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (fresh cut orchids) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance, irrigation systems, and educational supplies) suggests either systematic misclassification in the posting systems or that this specific UNSPSC code is not actively used for its intended purpose in recent state and local procurement activity.

The code shows minimal recent activity concentrated in the South, with Georgia, Florida, New Mexico, and Texas appearing in the recent opportunity record. Representative recent solicitations include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance (response due November 30, 2026), which covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, pruning, mulch application, irrigation system management, and installation of wildlife habitat features; and Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site (proposals due June 4, 2026, with award estimated July 14, 2026), evaluated on qualifications, references, design and maintenance approach, and cost with local and New Mexico resident business preferences available. Because recent opportunities bear only tangential relationship to fresh cut orchids, this code warrants verification against primary state and local procurement databases to confirm current relevance.
