UNSPSC 10362400: Fresh cut vanda orchids

Fresh cut blooms of the vanda type of orchids

UNSPSC 10362400 Fresh cut vanda orchids is a Class code that spans plant procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity shows the code captures a much broader scope of horticulture and landscape plant supply than the nominal code name suggests. State and local buyers are soliciting under this code for fresh cut flowers, hanging baskets with live plants for public landscaping, bulk plant material for municipal landscaping and civic grounds, and educational supplies catalogs that include plant-related products. Issuing bodies include education service centers serving multiple school districts through cooperative purchasing vehicles, county parks and recreation departments, and municipal procurement offices. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) posted a major catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies in June 2026 with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years, indicating substantial volume through cooperative purchasing channels that likely include plant and gardening supplies alongside educational materials.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site streetscapes, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award targeted for July 14, 2026; the scope requires a New Mexico nursery dealer license and multi-year pricing through year seven. The City of Dallas, Texas solicited plant purchases in January 2026 (due February 3, 2026) with FOB delivery to a specified address and one-year warranty coverage. DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for reconstruction of a tennis facility in June 2026, though that opportunity addresses information technology infrastructure rather than horticultural procurement and represents a misalignment between the assigned UNSPSC code and the actual work being solicited. The code shows modest activity concentrated among municipal parks departments and county landscaping operations alongside education service centers purchasing through cooperative agreements.
