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 captures ornamental plant procurement by state and local governments, though recent sourced opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The recent opportunities instead reflect broader floral and landscaping procurement spanning educational supply catalogs, municipal hanging flower baskets, and general plant purchases. School districts, counties, and cities are the primary issuing bodies, with sourcing conducted through both individual jurisdictional RFQs and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work encompasses supply and installation of flowering plants, maintenance of ornamental plantings, and general botanical materials for public facilities and streetscape beautification.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico solicited hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance under RFP 26-55 with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring contractor nursery licensing and multi-year pricing through July 14, 2026 award; the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS) for plant purchases with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring FOB delivery to a specified address and one-year warranty coverage. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas advertised a two-year educational supplies catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026, serving multiple school districts through a cooperative purchasing mechanism. The code itself shows limited recent directed procurement; the mismatch between the specific phalaenopsis commodity and the broader floral-services solicitations sourced suggests state and local governments typically embed orchid or specialty cut-flower purchases within general horticultural or landscaping contracts rather than issuing standalone commodity-level bids.
