UNSPSC 10452032: Dried cut phalaenopsis lowii orchid

Dried cut bloom of the lowii variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452032 Dried cut phalaenopsis lowii orchid is a Commodity code that captures specialized horticultural products and services state and local governments procure for botanical collections, demonstration gardens, and facility beautification. Recent solicitations under this code reflect a broader scope than the orchid taxonomy alone suggests—state and local buyers are sourcing integrated landscape maintenance, garden design, and native plant stewardship for public demonstration facilities rather than ordering dried orchid specimens as commodities. The work involves seasonal plant installation, selective pruning of native perennials and grasses, integrated pest management, irrigation system maintenance, and habitat restoration services (pollinator gardens, rain gardens, wildlife structures). Issuing bodies include county governments managing public demonstration and operational gardens, with support for water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards as core technical requirements. Contractors must hold Georgia-licensed landscape architecture credentials and demonstrate expertise in native plant care and ecological design principles.

Fulton County, Georgia represents the primary recent activity under this code. The county issued ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM in October 2026 for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4. The 0.95-acre scope includes quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, seasonal color installation, irrigation startup and shutdown, pressure washing, and ecological inventory walkthroughs through December 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the county identified certified MBE availability at 34.71% and FBE firms at 11.45% for this work category. A site visit is recommended prior to bid submission to assess scope and planting conditions.
