UNSPSC 10362047: Fresh cut phalaenopsis philippinensis orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the philippinensis variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362047 Fresh cut phalaenopsis philippinensis orchid is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental flowering plants and floral materials for landscaping, grounds maintenance, and beautification projects across state and local government facilities. The recent solicitations under this code, however, show minimal activity specifically aligned with the narrow orchid variety named in the code itself; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broader categories of plants, hanging flower baskets with seasonal plantings, and general plant inventory for grounds and facility maintenance. Issuing bodies include municipal departments (City of Dallas Parks and Recreation), county governments (Los Alamos County, DeKalb County), and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The cooperative purchasing vehicle—a multi-member education service center aggregating demand across school districts—appears designed to drive volume discounts on supplies, while municipalities manage direct procurement of specific landscaping and grounds assets.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County in New Mexico posted an RFP in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across downtown streetscapes, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and preference programs available for local and New Mexico resident businesses and Native American vendors; the scope includes all plant material supply, irrigation system monitoring, and seven-year pricing. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation on January 28, 2026 for general plant purchases due February 3, 2026, requiring FOB delivery to a Dallas facility with one-year warranty coverage and no substitutes accepted. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with an estimated two-year expenditure of $40.677 billion and a July 30, 2026 deadline, though this opportunity conflates ornamental plant material with broader educational supplies and does not represent demand specifically for orchids or specialty cut flowers at the state and local level.
