UNSPSC 10362016: Fresh cut phalaenopsis doweryënsis orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the doweryensis variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362016 Fresh cut phalaenopsis doweryënsis orchid is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of flowering plants and ornamental botanical materials for landscaping and grounds maintenance at state and local facilities. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific orchid species—and what state and local governments actually procure: landscape design, installation, and maintenance services covering multiple plant types, irrigation systems, hardscaping, pest management, and seasonal plantings. The code appears to serve as a catch-all categorization for horticultural and grounds-keeping services rather than tracking discrete cut-flower purchases. Issuing bodies include county government (Fulton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas).

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida, with representation in the Southwest and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving Texas school districts. Fulton County, Georgia posted ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM on October 16, 2026 (due November 30, 2026) seeking quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping; the contract runs through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida posted ITB 26246ITBMST on September 28, 2026 (responses due August 5, 2026) for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities, with addendum 1 issued July 21, 2026. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 on May 7, 2026 (proposals due June 4, 2026) for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and resident business preferences. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628 with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion, though this opportunity appears unrelated to the orchid code's scope.
