UNSPSC 10452018: Dried cut phalaenopsis fasciata orchid

Dried cut bloom of the fasciata variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452018 Dried cut phalaenopsis fasciata orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific horticultural product, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it centers on landscape maintenance services rather than the purchase or supply of dried orchids. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 invitation to bid (ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM) for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services represents the code's visible recent activity, though the work scope — quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, weeding, mulching, irrigation system management, and habitat installation — does not align with the code's stated commodity. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging or a broadening interpretation of the code to encompass horticultural and landscape management within demonstration garden contexts.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole recent issuing body visible in the dataset for this code. The ITB carries a due date of November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The county requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff, knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Certified MBE and FBE availability rates of 34.71% and 11.45% apply respectively. The lack of additional opportunities in the recent block indicates minimal current activity under this code nationally; the single Fulton County record suggests the code sees little state and local procurement use in its intended horticultural-product domain.
