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 that nominally describes preserved ornamental flowers, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no purchasing activity aligned with this code's specification. The single identified opportunity—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—is a grounds-keeping contract covering pollinator and rain garden upkeep, seasonal plantings, irrigation system management, and habitat installations (bat boxes and bird houses). This work does not involve procurement of dried orchids as a product line and appears to represent a classification mismatch rather than substantive demand under the code.

The Fulton County solicitation, posted October 16, 2026 with bids due November 30, 2026, requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on the contractor's staff and demonstrated expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Services span quarterly maintenance of four established gardens (two rain gardens, two pollinator gardens), selective pruning, mulch and pine straw application, pressure washing, integrated pest management, and irrigation system seasonal startup and shutdown across a 0.95-acre site. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. MBE availability is 34.71% and FBE availability is 11.45% for the construction work category. The code shows no other recent state or local opportunities and no clear pattern of purchasing activity in dried orchids or similar horticultural commodities at the state and local level.
