UNSPSC 10362201: Fresh cut cream cymbidium orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the cream variety of cymbidium orchids

UNSPSC 10362201 Fresh cut cream cymbidium orchid is a Commodity code that nominally addresses ornamental flowering plants, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reveal a significant mismatch: the code shows no solicitations for cut orchids themselves. Instead, the tagged opportunities span landscape maintenance, irrigation installation and repair, educational supplies, IT infrastructure, and hanging flower basket design and maintenance — work unrelated to the commodity's stated scope. The single opportunity that approaches horticultural procurement is Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets on public streets, which involves live plant material and ongoing cultivation but does not target cut cymbidium orchids specifically. The issuing bodies include a county government (Fulton County, Georgia), a school district (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), a regional education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), another county (DeKalb County, Georgia), and a county parks division (Los Alamos County, New Mexico).

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with two Georgia counties (Fulton and DeKalb) and one Florida school district dominating recent postings, supplemented by activity in Texas and New Mexico. The code shows little relevant recent activity for cut orchid procurement — the opportunities reflect primarily landscape and irrigation maintenance (Fulton County ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM due November 30, 2026, and Hillsborough County Public Schools ITB 26246ITBMST due August 5, 2026), educational product catalogs through cooperative purchasing, and municipal hardscape work. Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for hanging baskets due June 4, 2026, is the closest match to floral or plant procurement, yet it targets annual installation and maintenance of live planted containers rather than cut flowers. The taxonomy coding here does not align with actual buying activity, suggesting this code may be misapplied by posting jurisdictions or that cut cymbidium orchid procurement at the state and local level remains too infrequent to surface in current opportunity records.
