UNSPSC 10362008: Fresh cut phalaenopsis braceana orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the braceana variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362008 Fresh cut phalaenopsis braceana orchid is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific orchid species, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect purchasing of cut flowers or orchids. Instead, the code shows activity in landscape maintenance and horticultural services — work that involves the design, installation, maintenance, and irrigation of ornamental plantings and garden features across public facilities. The issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), and educational purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The scope of actual work spans quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens with native plantings; landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities; design and installation of hanging flower baskets on municipal streets; and educational supplies and materials through cooperative purchasing. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests the code has either been misapplied to landscape and horticultural services or carries little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to supply fresh cut orchids to state and local governments.

The most recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in New Mexico and Florida. Fulton County issued an ITB (26ITB1652296A-KM) due November 30, 2026, for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and quarterly maintenance through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted an ITB (26246ITBMST) for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across school facilities, with proposals due August 5, 2026, and preference for small business enterprises and minority-owned businesses. Los Alamos County, New Mexico, issued an RFP (RFP26-55) due June 4, 2026, for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on municipal streets, requiring bidders to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and comply with local and resident business preferences under state law. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited educational activities and supplies catalog discount bids (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026, representing a broader cooperative purchasing vehicle unrelated to orchid procurement.
