UNSPSC 10362403: Fresh cut lavender vanda orchid

Fresh cut bloom of the lavender vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10362403 Fresh cut lavender vanda orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes ornamental cut flowers, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with fresh floral procurement and instead reflect broader landscape maintenance, irrigation, and educational supply activities. The one opportunity directly related to the code's scope—Los Alamos County's RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets for the town site—involves live flowering plants in a horticultural maintenance context rather than fresh-cut flowers for resale or event decoration. The solicitations under this code span county parks and recreation divisions, school district facilities management, and regional education cooperatives; issuing bodies include Fulton County Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, and Los Alamos County in New Mexico. Work actually being solicited includes quarterly landscape and irrigation maintenance for demonstration gardens (pollinator and rain gardens with native plantings), multi-facility landscape and irrigation installation and repair across school properties, educational activity and supplies catalog discounts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and annual design and maintenance of decorative hanging baskets on municipal streetscapes.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Georgia (Fulton County and DeKalb County), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving multiple school districts), and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), with activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas education market. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape maintenance services due November 30, 2026, which requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and covers quarterly pollinator and rain garden maintenance, irrigation system management, and habitat installation; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across HCPS facilities with proposals due August 5, 2026, which encourages small business and minority-owned firm participation; and Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance due June 4, 2026, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and offering local and state resident business preferences. The code shows little relevant recent activity for fresh-cut floral products typical of wholesale nursery or florist supply procurement.
