UNSPSC 10452000: Dried cut phalaenopsis orchids

Dried cut blooms of the phalaenopsis type of orchids

UNSPSC 10452000 Dried cut phalaenopsis orchids is a Class code for preserved ornamental flowers, yet the recent state and local activity tagged under it reflects landscape maintenance and horticultural services rather than dried floral products. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB on October 16, 2026 for quarterly landscape maintenance at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—a 0.95-acre scope covering pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, irrigation system management, mulching, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, integrated pest management, and installation of wildlife habitat features such as bat boxes and bird houses. The contract requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Labor, materials, and equipment are contractor-supplied. The scope includes fertilizer application per plant guidance, selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials, weeding, debris removal, pine straw and uncolored hardwood mulch application by season and garden type, quarterly pressure washing, irrigation startup and shutdown with filter cleaning and valve adjustment, hose inspection and repair, and quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (preserved cut orchids) and the actual work being solicited (grounds maintenance services) suggests the code shows limited relevant recent activity for firms supplying dried floral products to state and local buyers.

Fulton County issued the only recent opportunity in the dataset. The response deadline is November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and an optional site visit on November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals (2028, 2029) subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Certified MBE firms represent 34.71% availability and FBE firms 11.45% for this construction work category. Bids remain irrevocable for 60 days.
