UNSPSC 10452043: Dried cut phalaenopsis pallens orchid

Dried cut bloom of the pallens variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452043 Dried cut phalaenopsis pallens orchid is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity associated with the code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—involves active landscape maintenance, native plant care, irrigation management, and habitat installation work, not dried orchid products. The scope includes selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; quarterly pressure washing; mulch and fertilizer applications; integrated pest management; irrigation system startup and shutdown with filter cleaning and valve adjustment; and installation of bat boxes and bird houses with interpretive signage. This is grounds maintenance and ecological habitat work, not floristry or dried floral commodity procurement.

Fulton County, Georgia issued the ITB with a November 30, 2026 response date and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, with a site visit recommended for November 10 to assess the 0.95-acre scope. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, responsibility (bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance), and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. Certified MBE availability is 34.71% and FBE availability is 11.45%. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried orchid products) and the actual work being solicited (grounds maintenance and ecological habitat management) suggests the code assignment may be an error or the code is not actively used for state and local procurement in this commodity family.
