UNSPSC 10452052: Dried cut phalaenopsis Nivacolor orchid

Dried cut bloom of the nivacolor variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452052 Dried cut phalaenopsis Nivacolor orchid is a Commodity code that nominally covers cut orchid flowers, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated scope. Fulton County, Georgia posted an ITB for landscape maintenance services at a demonstration garden facility—work involving seasonal plantings, mulching, irrigation system maintenance, pollinator habitat installation, and quarterly site management—rather than procurement of dried orchid flowers or similar horticultural products. The county's solicitation requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and emphasizes water-efficient landscaping, integrated pest management, and wildlife habitat standards. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a coding error in the opportunity record or that this Commodity code is not a reliable indicator of current state and local buying patterns in this product or service family.

The single identifiable recent opportunity is Fulton County, Georgia ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM (Solicitation Number PE66096NONST2026000000219), posted October 16, 2026, with bids due November 30, 2026, a pre-bid conference on November 4, and a site visit recommended for November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. 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. The county identifies certified MBE firms at 34.71% availability and FBE firms at 11.45% for this construction work category. Insurance requirements include Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability minimum $1 million per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability. Without additional recent opportunities under this code from other jurisdictions, activity appears limited to this single Georgia solicitation.
