UNSPSC 10452029: Dried cut phalaenopsis lamelligera orchid

Dried cut bloom of the lamelligera variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452029 Dried cut phalaenopsis lamelligera orchid is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried orchid variety, but the recent state and local opportunity record shows no procurement of this particular product. Instead, the single recent solicitation under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—addresses ongoing grounds keeping, seasonal plantings, and irrigation system management across pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and accessory planted areas. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a dried orchid commodity) and what is actually being procured (landscape maintenance labor and general materials) suggests either a coding error in the state and local opportunity database or that this code has been reassigned to cover a broader family of floriculture and grounds-keeping services. The work being solicited includes quarterly maintenance tasks—selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; mulch and pine straw application; pressure washing; integrated pest management; irrigation startup, adjustment, shutdown, and repair; seasonal color-bed replacements; and installation and signage of wildlife-habitat features such as bat boxes and bird houses. The bidder must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards.

Fulton County, Georgia is the only recent issuing body on record under this code. The opportunity opened October 16, 2026 with bids due November 30, 2026, a pre-bid conference on November 4, and a recommended site visit on November 10. The scope covers a 0.95-acre demonstration garden; the contractor furnishes all labor, materials, and equipment and performs work through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board approval. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE availability stands at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45% for this construction category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Given the single opportunity on record and the nominal-scope misalignment, this code shows minimal activity relevant to traditional dried orchid procurement.
