UNSPSC 10451504: Dried cut green paphiopedilum orchid

Dried cut bloom of the green paphiopedilum orchids

UNSPSC 10451504 Dried cut green paphiopedilum orchid is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses landscape maintenance and horticultural services for demonstration gardens and public green spaces. The recent state and local opportunities under this code show that governments are soliciting broad landscape stewardship work — quarterly maintenance of native plantings, pollinator and rain gardens, irrigation management, integrated pest management, and seasonal color rotations — rather than procurement of dried orchid specimens as the code name suggests. The issuing bodies include county governments operating demonstration and educational garden properties; Fulton County, Georgia has posted activity under this code.

Fulton County, Georgia represents the primary recent activity. The South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape-maintenance ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, posted October 16, 2026 with responses due November 30, 2026, seeks a Georgia-licensed landscape contractor to maintain 0.95 acres of pollinator gardens, rain gardens, trails, and plantings through December 31, 2027 with optional one-year renewals. The scope includes quarterly site inventories, selective pruning, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood in rain gardens), pressure washing, seasonal color changes, irrigation system management with seasonal startup and shutdown cycles, installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage, and integrated pest management. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 4 with a site visit recommended for November 10. The county requires proof of a full-time Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, documented experience with water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements. MBE and FBE subcontracting opportunities are available at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively.
