UNSPSC 10452009: Dried cut phalaenopsis buyssoniana orchid

Dried cut bloom of the buyssoniana variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452009 Dried cut phalaenopsis buyssoniana orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes preserved orchid specimens, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that classification. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, which involves ongoing quarterly care of native plantings, pollinator and rain gardens, and facility grounds — work entirely unrelated to dried orchid procurement. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees minimal relevant activity in state and local contracting, and the single posted opportunity appears to be a coding error rather than a genuine match to the commodity description.

Fulton County issued the only recent opportunity identified under this code, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, 2026. The landscape maintenance contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment for quarterly service cycles including selective pruning, weeding, mulch application, pressure washing, irrigation system management, and seasonal color changes. The contract is open to certified MBE and FBE firms, with availability reported at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for the construction work category. Given the single posting and the fundamental mismatch between the code designation and the work described, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local opportunities in dried orchid products or related horticultural goods.
