UNSPSC 10452005: Dried cut phalaenopsis bastianii orchid

Dried cut bloom of the bastianii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452005 Dried cut phalaenopsis bastianii orchid is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific preserved orchid specimen, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a marked mismatch — the single recent opportunity on record is a landscape maintenance contract, not orchid procurement. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM solicits quarterly maintenance services for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, covering native perennials, trees, shrubs, and grasses across pollinator and rain gardens, along with irrigation management, mulch and fertilizer applications, pressure washing, and integrated pest management. The scope does not include dried orchid products or the floristry and botanical specimen supply chain the code's UNSPSC title suggests. The mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for dried cut phalaenopsis bastianii orchid procurement at the state and local level.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body represented in the recent-opportunities record for this code. The landscape maintenance ITB, due November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and recommended site visit on November 10, requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and familiarity with water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. MBE participation is noted at 34.71% availability for this construction category. The absence of other recent opportunities suggests this code does not currently reflect active procurement of dried orchid specimens by state and local governments.
