UNSPSC 10452004: Dried cut phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid

Dried cut bloom of the appendiculata variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452004 Dried cut phalaenopsis appendiculata orchid is a Commodity code that shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity on record does not align with the code's nominal scope. Fulton County, Georgia posted ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM in October 2026 for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, a 0.95-acre site featuring pollinator and rain gardens, native plantings, and interpretive facilities. The work involves quarterly maintenance including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application; pressure washing; seasonal color plantings; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup and shutdown; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with signage. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and appropriate insurance coverage including Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Professional E&O Liability.

This opportunity is fundamentally a landscape maintenance and horticultural services solicitation rather than a purchase of dried orchid specimens. Fulton County is the issuing body, located in Georgia, and the work is being performed at a demonstration garden in South Fulton. The ITB closed for responses on November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4 and a site visit recommended for November 10. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluated on price, experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, and past performance, with certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45%. The code shows no other recent state and local procurement activity and does not reflect the actual purchasing pattern in this jurisdiction.
