UNSPSC 10362046: Fresh cut phalaenopsis petelotii orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the petelotii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362046 Fresh cut phalaenopsis petelotii orchid is a Commodity code that captures landscape maintenance and horticultural services for ornamental plantings in public facilities and grounds—a scope diverging significantly from the code's literal name. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily county parks and recreation departments, school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing entities seeking contractors to design, install, and maintain decorative plantings including flower baskets, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and associated irrigation systems. Work encompasses selective pruning of native plants, seasonal color changes, mulch and fertilizer applications, integrated pest management, irrigation system maintenance and repair, pressure washing of hardscape, and quarterly site management with inventory and planning. Issuing bodies include Fulton County, Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Los Alamos County in New Mexico; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, suggesting a mixed base of county government operations, school district facilities management, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles.
