UNSPSC 10362005: Fresh cut phalaenopsis bastianii orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the bastianii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362005 Fresh cut phalaenopsis bastianii orchid is a Commodity code with a narrow and specialized scope. The code nominally names a single ornamental plant species, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not focus on this specific orchid variety. Instead, the recent opportunities span general plant procurement, hanging flower basket design and maintenance services, and educational supply catalogs — a mismatch between the code's nominal taxonomy and what jurisdictions are actually buying under it. The issuing bodies include a Texas education service center cooperative, a county government in Georgia, a county in New Mexico, and a city in Texas. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and scattered across the Southwest, though the scope of solicited work across these opportunities does not align with fresh cut orchid procurement.

The most recent opportunities show no direct procurement of phalaenopsis bastianii orchids or similar fresh cut flowers. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 for general plant purchase due February 3, 2026, with no orchid specifications. Los Alamos County in New Mexico conducted an RFP (RFP26-55) for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance over seven years, due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and plant material supply but not naming orchids. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, spanning a two-year term with an estimated $40.677 billion total expenditure across the cooperative's school district network, with no floral procurement mentioned. DeKalb County in Georgia issued an ITB (2026-076-ITB) for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center due July 13, 2026, focused entirely on information technology and low-voltage infrastructure with no plant procurement scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity definition, and the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope limits its utility as a procurement signal for orchid suppliers.
