UNSPSC 10452044: Dried cut phalaenopsis pantherina orchid

Dried cut bloom of the pantherina variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452044 Dried cut phalaenopsis pantherina orchid is a Commodity code that nominally covers preserved ornamental flowers, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow product scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—solicits ongoing quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch and pine straw application; pressure washing; seasonal plantings in garden beds and urns; integrated pest management; and irrigation system management. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The work is clearly horticultural services, not purchase of preserved orchid flowers, indicating either a miscoding issue or a mislabeling of the opportunity in the source system.

Fulton County, Georgia is the sole issuing body in the recent record for this code. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM carries a response deadline of November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and a recommended site visit on November 10 covering the 0.95-acre scope. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals through 2029 subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award is based on lowest responsive and responsible bid with evaluation of price, responsiveness, bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, and past performance. MBE certification availability is listed at 34.71% and FBE at 11.45% for the construction work category. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity definition and warrants review for recoding or correction in the source system.
