UNSPSC 10452101: Dried cut bom dendrobium orchid

Dried cut bloom of the bom variety of dendrobium orchids

UNSPSC 10452101 Dried cut bom dendrobium orchid is a Commodity code that nominally addresses preserved orchid flowers used in floral arrangements and decorative applications. However, the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code does not reflect purchases of dried orchids. Instead, Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden represents the only recent opportunity on record under this code. The solicitation covers quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens across a 0.95-acre site, including selective pruning, weeding, mulch application, pressure washing of hardscape, irrigation system management, integrated pest management, and seasonal plant color installations in garden beds and planters. The contract requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrates expertise in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried ornamental orchids) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance and horticultural services) suggests either a data-entry error in the county's coding assignment or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and Fulton County's procurement categorization.

Fulton County is the sole issuing body with recent activity under this code, and Georgia is the only state represented in the recent opportunities block. The South Fulton ITB has a response deadline of November 30, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and an optional site visit on November 10. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award criteria include price, responsiveness, bidder experience and qualifications, financial capability, past performance, and compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. MBE availability is reported at 34.71% for this construction work category, and FBE availability at 11.45%. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that it shows little relevant activity aligned with dried orchid procurement and that the single recent opportunity represents a clear category-coding anomaly rather than a market signal for specialty floral products.
