UNSPSC 10451500: Dried cut cypripedium or ladys slipper orchids

Dried cut blooms of cypripedium type of orchids

UNSPSC 10451500 Dried cut cypripedium or ladys slipper orchids is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch: Pinellas County's environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance RFP centers on native plant installation, invasive species removal, and wetland restoration services across stormwater ponds and surface water conveyances, while Columbus Consolidated Government's arts and craft supplies RFQ procures general hobby and recreational materials for parks and recreation programming. Neither solicitation involves dried orchids or orchid-related botanical products. The code appears to capture a narrow, specialized commodity with limited state and local demand, and recent tagging suggests either classification error or very occasional use of the code for tangentially related botanical or horticultural procurement.

State and local buyers tagging activity to this code include Pinellas County, Florida (environmental services) and Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia (parks and recreation supplies). The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent posting activity. Pinellas County issued RFP 250628RFP on February 26, 2026, seeking five-year environmental management services with a response date of July 29, 2025 (note: deadline predates posting date, suggesting an amended or extended timeline); the solicitation includes a 150-species native plant list and SBE participation provisions. Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFQ No. 26-0014 on February 4, 2026, with a response date of February 25, 2026, for arts and craft supplies supporting parks and recreation divisions with anticipated annual volume of $30,000 to $50,000. The code shows insufficient recent activity and substantial scope misalignment to support a pursue decision at this time.
