UNSPSC 10362403: Fresh cut lavender vanda orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the lavender vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10362403 Fresh cut lavender vanda orchid, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The four recent opportunities tagged under this code span educational supplies catalogs, IT infrastructure reconstruction, hanging flower basket design and maintenance, and general plant purchases—none of which target fresh cut lavender vanda orchids specifically. The code appears to capture ornamental plant procurement broadly rather than this particular species, and state and local buyers appear to source these items through informal or routine purchasing channels rather than formal solicitations.

Activity comes from a mix of issuing bodies including a regional education service center (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), a county government (Los Alamos County, New Mexico), a city (Dallas, Texas), and a county parks and recreation division (DeKalb County, Georgia). Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, and the City of Dallas's plant purchase IFB 215260, due February 3, 2026, offer the most direct signals for ornamental plant procurement, though neither explicitly names fresh cut lavender vanda orchids. Los Alamos County's multi-year contract requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and emphasizes qualifications, references, design, and cost equally; Dallas requires FOB delivery to a single location with firm pricing, one-year warranty coverage, and no substitutes. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and New Mexico; no recent opportunities from other states appear in the record. The code's application to miscellaneous plant purchases and educational supply catalogs suggests that fresh cut orchid procurement, if occurring under this code at all, represents a minor fraction of activity and does not warrant pursuit as a dedicated category.
