UNSPSC 10362011: Fresh cut phalaenopsis chibae orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the chibae variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362011 Fresh cut phalaenopsis chibae orchid is a Commodity code that covers ornamental plants and cut flowers for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and decorative applications at state and local facilities. Recent state and local procurement under this code centers on hanging flower baskets for municipal streetscapes, cut and potted plants for city grounds, and bulk plant material sourcing through educational cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies span city parks and recreation departments, county procurement offices, and regional education service centers acting as cooperative purchasing intermediaries that aggregate demand across multiple school districts and public entities. Work solicited ranges from design and installation of seasonal hanging baskets with multi-year maintenance contracts to straightforward plant procurement through informal bids and catalog discount agreements.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and the Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Los Alamos County in New Mexico (RFP for hanging baskets, due June 4, 2026), the City of Dallas, Texas (informal solicitation for plants, due February 3, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (catalog discount bid for educational supplies including plants, due July 30, 2026). The Region 7 solicitation (EDACT2628) represents a large cooperative vehicle with $40.677 billion in estimated expenditures over two years and 136 prior awards, suggesting this is a renewal or continuation serving multiple school districts. The Los Alamos RFP (RFP26-55) requires proposers to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offers local and resident business preferences under state code; proposals are evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points), with contract award expected July 14, 2026. Dallas's informal solicitation requires plants to be new and unopened with FOB delivery pricing to a specified address and includes a one-year warranty obligation on all items.
