UNSPSC 10362045: Fresh cut phalaenopsis parishii orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the parishii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362045 Fresh cut phalaenopsis parishii orchid is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. Of the four recent solicitations tagged to this code, only one — Los Alamos County's hanging flower baskets RFP — involves live ornamental plants at all. The others address educational supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog discount bid), IT infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County tennis center), and general plant purchases with no species specificity (Dallas plant purchase). The code as named suggests procurement of a single orchid species, yet state and local buyers are using it to source broader horticultural services, generic plants, and unrelated goods and services. No recent state and local opportunities solicit fresh cut phalaenopsis parishii orchid specifically.

Geographic activity is scattered across Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico based on the recent postings. Los Alamos County's multi-year hanging flower basket contract (RFP26-55, proposals due June 4, 2026) represents the closest match to ornamental plant procurement, requiring design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 baskets with a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through year seven; the County offers local, resident, Native American, and veteran business preferences under New Mexico statute. The Dallas plant purchase (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026) calls for generic plants delivered FOB to a Dallas address with a one-year warranty and no species or variety designation. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) covers educational activities and supplies across multiple school districts with an estimated $40.677 billion two-year expenditure. The code shows minimal activity aligned with its stated commodity; opportunities pursuing fresh cut orchids specifically would require direct inquiry into state and local procurement schedules rather than reliance on recent UNSPSC-tagged solicitations.
