UNSPSC 10452400: Dried cut vanda orchids

Dried cut blooms of the vanda type of orchids

UNSPSC 10452400 Dried cut vanda orchids is a Class code that nominally covers preserved orchid flowers, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that scope. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Maintenance and Operational Demonstration Garden—due November 30, 2026—represents the only recent opportunity tagged to this code, and it calls for quarterly maintenance of pollinator and rain gardens, including selective pruning, mulching, weeding, irrigation system management, pressure washing, seasonal plantings, and installation of interpretive signage for bat boxes and bird houses. The work is solicited as a competitive ITB with price and responsibility as evaluation factors, requiring a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrated knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, and carries insurance requirements including Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), and Professional E&O Liability. MBE and FBE set-aside availability is reported at 34.71% and 11.45% respectively for this construction work category.

The code shows minimal recent activity—only one solicitation—and that activity appears misaligned with the code's nominal product scope. Fulton County in Georgia is the sole identifiable issuing body in the recent-opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (dried cut vanda orchids) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance services and garden construction) signals either a tagging error in the county's procurement system or a very narrow and specialized use case that does not reflect typical state and local demand under this code. Prospective bidders should verify whether this code reliably identifies opportunities in preserved florals or botanical services before committing significant pursuit resources.
