UNSPSC 10452058: Dried cut phalaenopsis sumatrana orchid

Dried cut bloom of the sumatrana variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452058 Dried cut phalaenopsis sumatrana orchid is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — dried preserved orchid specimens — does not match the landscape maintenance and horticultural services that state and local governments are soliciting under this classification.

Fulton County, Georgia posted ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM on October 16, 2026, requesting landscape maintenance services for the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden, with bids due November 30, 2026. The scope covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning of native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials; weeding and debris removal; mulch application; pressure washing of hardscape; seasonal plantings in garden beds and urns; irrigation system maintenance; integrated pest management; and installation of wildlife habitat features such as bat boxes and bird houses. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. Contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE and FBE firms represent 34.71% and 11.45% availability respectively in the construction work category. The code classification appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than a signal of active procurement for dried orchid specimens in state and local markets.
