UNSPSC 10452048: Dried cut phalaenopsis pulcherrima orchid

Dried cut bloom of the pulcherrima variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452048 Dried cut phalaenopsis pulcherrima orchid is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The two recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect dried cut orchid procurement; instead, they span environmental planting and maintenance services (invasive and exotic plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and regulatory compliance reporting) and general arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies for parks departments. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems or that dried cut phalaenopsis orchids are occasionally bundled as botanical supplies within broader environmental or recreational procurement vehicles. Issuing bodies using this code include county environmental departments (Pinellas County, Florida) and municipal parks and recreation agencies (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), each conducting as-needed procurements for multi-year contract terms.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Florida and Georgia. Pinellas County issued an RFP on June 30, 2025, for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (250628RFP) with a proposal due date of July 29, 2025, covering five-year ecological restoration work at stormwater treatment ponds, wetlands, and surface water conveyances with SBE participation provisions. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 (PE70662NONST2026000000093) on February 4, 2026, for arts and craft, hobby, and recreational supplies supporting the Department of Parks and Recreation, with bids due February 25, 2026, and an expected annual purchasing volume of $30,000 to $50,000 across multiple departments. The lack of orchid-specific procurement signals under this code warrants verification of tagging accuracy before resource allocation.
