UNSPSC 10362031: Fresh cut phalaenopsis lobbii orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the lobbii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362031 Fresh cut phalaenopsis lobbii orchid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of four recent postings, only one procurement—Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets and maintenance—involves ornamental plant material and horticultural services; the others address educational supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), IT infrastructure (DeKalb County), and generic plant purchases without species specificity (City of Dallas). The Los Alamos opportunity calls for design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging baskets, with the contractor responsible for supplying plant material, managing irrigation, and replacing failed plants within ten days of installation at no cost to the county. The solicitations do not reflect consistent state and local demand specifically for fresh cut phalaenopsis lobbii orchids, suggesting the code assignment may not match current procurement activity in this category.

Los Alamos County in New Mexico is the standout issuer with recent horticultural activity under this code; the RFP26-55 deadline was June 4, 2026, with contract award estimated for July 14, 2026. The solicitation emphasizes qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance capability (35 points), and cost (20 points), and offers local, resident, and native american business preferences under New Mexico statutes. Geographic spread in recent activity centers on Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative and City of Dallas) and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), with Georgia's DeKalb County representing an outlier unrelated to the code's scope. The lack of specification for phalaenopsis orchids in any recent posting and the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggest limited procurement momentum for this specific commodity at the state and local level.
