UNSPSC 10452061: Dried cut phalaenopsis venosa orchid

Dried cut bloom of the venosa variety of phalaenopsis orchid

UNSPSC 10452061 Dried cut phalaenopsis venosa orchid is a Commodity code that nominally encompasses preserved orchid specimens, but the recent state and local solicitation record shows no procurement activity aligned with that product category. 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—concerns grounds-keeping labor, seasonal plantings, irrigation system management, and habitat installations (bat boxes, bird houses) across pollinator and rain gardens. This represents a material mismatch between the code's intended commodity scope and the actual work being bought. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, manage integrated pest management, perform quarterly site walkthroughs with inventory and action planning, and supply all labor, materials, and equipment. The scope spans selective pruning, weeding, mulch application (pine straw in pollinator areas, uncolored hardwood mulch in rain gardens), pressure washing of hardscape, seasonal color changes in planting beds, and irrigation system startup, shutdown, and maintenance.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the ITB on October 16, 2026, with a response deadline of November 30, 2026, a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4, and a recommended site visit on November 10 to inspect the 0.95-acre scope. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; certified MBE and FBE availability stands at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for the construction work category. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the record. The code assignment suggests a procurement-classification misalignment; before pursuing, verify whether your firm's service offering aligns with landscape maintenance and grounds-keeping or whether repositioning under a different UNSPSC code better reflects your commercial scope.
