UNSPSC 10362036: Fresh cut phalaenopsis maculata orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the maculata variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362036 Fresh cut phalaenopsis maculata orchid is a Commodity code that captures ornamental landscape and horticultural services state and local governments purchase for parks, gardens, and public facilities—specifically the design, installation, and maintenance of decorative plantings, flower baskets, and associated irrigation systems. Recent solicitations show this code applied primarily to landscape maintenance contracts serving demonstration gardens, public grounds, and municipal beautification projects rather than the direct procurement of cut orchid flowers suggested by the code's nominal name. Issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, and municipal parks departments. Fulton County, Georgia and Los Alamos County, New Mexico have posted recent solicitations; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida is procuring landscape and irrigation services across multiple facilities. The scope of work ranges from quarterly maintenance of native plantings and pollinator gardens (weeding, mulching, pruning, pressure washing, seasonal color changes, integrated pest management, and irrigation system management) to multi-year design and installation contracts for hanging flower baskets on public streets, with all plant material, labor, and equipment typically provided by the contractor.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico, with additional cooperative purchasing activity through the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative education service center in Texas. Representative opportunities include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance, with bids due November 30, 2026, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrated expertise in water-efficient landscaping; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair services across school facilities, with proposals due August 5, 2026 and encouragement for small business and minority-owned business participation; and Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets on Central Avenue and surrounding streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring a New Mexico nursery dealer license and evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), with local and resident business preferences available under New Mexico statute.
