UNSPSC 10362301: Fresh cut golden shower oncidium orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the golden shower oncidium orchids

UNSPSC 10362301 Fresh cut golden shower oncidium orchid is a Commodity code that nominally denotes a specific ornamental flower product, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not consistently align with that narrow scope. The recent opportunities show landscape maintenance, irrigation installation and repair, educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure, and hanging flower basket design and maintenance services—work that extends well beyond procurement of fresh-cut orchids. State and local governments are using this code to solicit broad horticultural and grounds-maintenance services, including seasonal plantings, garden upkeep, drip irrigation system management, and multi-year floral displays. Issuing bodies include county governments (Fulton County and DeKalb County in Georgia; Los Alamos County in New Mexico; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The work being solicited ranges from specialized grounds maintenance for demonstration gardens and municipal beautification to routine landscape and irrigation services across school district facilities.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with outliers in New Mexico and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance, with bids due November 30, 2026 and covering quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, irrigation system management, and seasonal plantings; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across school facilities. Los Alamos County in New Mexico posted an RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and weighted evaluation on qualifications, references, design, and cost. The code shows misalignment between its nominal commodity definition and actual state and local procurement activity—it appears to be overused as a catch-all for grounds and horticultural services rather than reserved for fresh-cut orchid purchases.
