UNSPSC 10451802: Dried cut orange disa orchid

Dried cut blooms of the orange variety of disa orchids

UNSPSC 10451802 Dried cut orange disa orchid is a Commodity code that captures ornamental plant material and floral products used by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows little direct procurement of the orchid product itself. Instead, the code appears underutilized or misclassified in current state and local opportunities; the single recent posting tagged to it — Fulton County, Georgia's South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden landscape contract — concerns ongoing quarterly maintenance of established pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, mulching, irrigation system management, fertilizer application, pressure washing, and integrated pest management across a 0.95-acre site. The work does not involve procurement of dried orchids or similar cut floral stock but rather the horticultural upkeep of native perennials, grasses, trees, and shrubs by a Georgia-licensed landscape professional. The mismatch suggests either classifier error or a broader interpretation of ornamental plant codes that does not align with what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under this Commodity designation.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the only recent opportunity under this code (ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM, due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and recommended site visit on November 10). Contract performance runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The county requires bidders to carry a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, demonstrate water-efficient and wildlife habitat knowledge, and maintain multiple insurance coverages including Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability at $1 million per occurrence minimum, and Professional E&O Liability. MBE and FBE availability in the construction work category is 34.71% and 11.45% respectively. The low activity and geographic concentration — a single recent opportunity in Georgia — combined with the apparent mismatch between the orchid Commodity code and actual landscape maintenance work suggests this code is not a reliable or active procurement vehicle for state and local government buyers at this time.
