UNSPSC 10362039: Fresh cut phalaenopsis mariae orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the mariae variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362039 Fresh cut phalaenopsis mariae orchid is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific product directly; the recent opportunities block shows no purchases of phalaenopsis mariae orchids themselves. Instead, the code appears in the taxonomy alongside broader landscape and horticultural procurement — one of the five recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involves landscape maintenance services (including plant care and installation) for demonstration gardens in Georgia; another covers landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across Florida school facilities; a third solicits educational supplies through a Texas cooperative purchasing vehicle; a fourth addresses IT infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction in Georgia; and a fifth requests design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets in New Mexico. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a single cut orchid species) and the actual work being solicited (landscape services, educational supplies, and IT infrastructure) signals that either the code has been misapplied in these opportunities or the taxonomy entry does not align with how state and local buyers use it in practice. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the product it nominally represents.

The one opportunity with plausible connection to horticultural procurement — Los Alamos County's RFP for hanging flower baskets design, installation, and maintenance through June 4, 2026 — does not specify phalaenopsis mariae orchids; it requires a nursery dealer license from New Mexico and leaves plant material selection to the contractor's proposal. Bidders must hold New Mexico state preferences (Local, Resident, Native American Resident, or Veteran classifications) and are evaluated on qualifications and experience (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), and cost (20 points), with a contract term of up to seven years. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted an ITB for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair with an August 5, 2026 response deadline (now past), requiring vendors to register with the school district's Office of Supplier Development and acknowledge Addendum 1 issued July 21, 2026. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for fresh cut orchid procurement and verify the actual commodity or service code when pursuing horticultural or floral opportunities with state and local buyers.
