UNSPSC 10362059: Fresh cut phalaenopsis taenialis orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the taenialis variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10362059 Fresh cut phalaenopsis taenialis orchid is a Commodity code that maps to a narrow product category but shows misalignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code—Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets and maintenance—is soliciting design, installation, and ongoing maintenance services for ornamental plantings, not purchase of cut orchids as a consumable supply item. The four other opportunities in the recent-activity window (landscape maintenance for Fulton County, Georgia; landscape and irrigation services for Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; educational supplies through a Texas cooperative purchasing vehicle; and IT infrastructure for DeKalb County, Georgia) are entirely unrelated to the code's nominal scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent volume. The Los Alamos County hanging-basket contract, while tagged to the orchid commodity, is primarily a service procurement requiring design, installation, and multiyear plant maintenance rather than procurement of cut phalaenopsis orchids as a product line. The contractor must hold a New Mexico nursery dealer license, deliver and install plant material by May 15 annually, and manage ongoing irrigation and replacement; Los Alamos County provides the baskets, liners, hangers, and irrigation system. The RFP evaluation criteria—Qualifications and Experience (35 points), References (10 points), Design and Maintenance Solution (35 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points)—emphasize service capability and design expertise over product sourcing. With no other recent opportunities explicitly soliciting fresh-cut orchids as a commodity input to state or local operations, this code appears inactive for conventional procurement of the product it nominally describes.
