UNSPSC 10452017: Dried cut phalaenopsis equestris orchid

Dried cut bloom of the equestris variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452017 Dried cut phalaenopsis equestris orchid is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific dried orchid product, yet the two recent solicitations tagged under it address environmental planting and maintenance services (Pinellas County) and arts and craft supplies (Columbus Consolidated Government), neither of which involves procurement of dried orchids or relate to the code's stated scope. Pinellas County's five-year environmental services RFP calls for native plant installation, invasive species removal, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance work across stormwater facilities and ecological sites; Columbus Consolidated Government's annual contract seeks discounted arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks and recreation programming. These opportunities do not align with dried orchid procurement, suggesting either miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity code does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns.

The geographic spread in recent activity covers Florida (Pinellas County) and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), with issuing bodies spanning county government and city consolidated departments. Pinellas County posted its environmental services RFP on June 30, 2025, with a proposal due date of July 29, 2025, structured as a five-year contract with potential two-year extension and SBE participation thresholds; Columbus Consolidated Government issued its arts and craft supplies RFB (No. 26-0014) on February 4, 2026, with responses due February 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, covering an estimated annual spend of $30,000 to $50,000 across parks and recreation divisions with a two-year base term and three optional renewals. Neither opportunity represents procurement aligned with the code's nominal orchid classification, indicating the code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets.
