UNSPSC 10450000: Dried cut orchids

Dried cut blooms of orchids

UNSPSC 10450000 Dried cut orchids is a Family code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity available—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves ongoing quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, selective pruning, mulching, pressure washing, irrigation system management, and seasonal plantings. This work is grounds maintenance and horticultural services, not procurement of dried cut orchids as a finished product or supply item. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the opportunity was tagged or that the code's recent activity does not reflect its nominal scope.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its intended commodity classification. Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body with a posted solicitation under this code in the source material, with bids due November 30, 2026, and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. A site visit is recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre demonstration garden. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. MBE availability is listed at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45% for the construction work category.
