UNSPSC 10451600: Dried cut mokara or mocara orchids

Dried cut blooms of the mokara or mocara type of orchids

UNSPSC 10451600 Dried cut mokara or mocara orchids is a Class code that nominally designates preserved orchid flowers, yet state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect purchasing of dried floral specimens. The two recent opportunities on record show a fundamental mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being solicited. Pinellas County issued an RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, reporting, and maintenance services spanning invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland ecology, and regulatory compliance across mitigation sites and stormwater facilities—a scope entirely unrelated to orchid procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued an RFB for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for the Parks and Recreation Department on an as-needed basis, supporting after-school programs and community recreation divisions—likewise disconnected from dried floral goods. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Geographic activity under this code is limited to two jurisdictions: Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government). The issuing bodies span county government and consolidated municipal government. Pinellas County's RFP for environmental services closed July 29, 2025, with a five-year contract term and SBE provisions; Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB for recreational supplies closed February 25, 2026, with an expected annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 across a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals. Neither solicitation reflects demand for the dried orchid flowers the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing authority before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the mismatch suggests potential data-quality or classification issues rather than active market demand for mokara orchids in state and local procurement.
