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 describes a specific horticultural commodity, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code are for environmental planting, monitoring, and native plant ecosystem restoration services (Pinellas County, Florida) and for general arts, craft, hobby, and recreational supplies procurement (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia)—neither of which directly concerns dried vanda orchids or closely related cut-flower products. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for plant-related or general supply categories that do not map cleanly to their internal procurement taxonomies, rather than as a targeted call for orchid products or services. The issuing bodies represent a mixed portfolio of county environmental divisions and municipal parks departments, but the work being solicited bears no consistent relationship to the code's commodity definition.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent postings. Pinellas County released an RFP (Solicitation 250628RFP) on June 30, 2025, for a five-year environmental services contract running 2025–2030 covering invasive plant removal, native plant installation, wetland monitoring, and permit-compliant reporting, with proposals due July 29, 2025 and SBE participation thresholds included. Columbus Consolidated Government issued Request for Bids No. 26-0014 (Solicitation PE70662NONST2026000000093) on February 4, 2026, for arts and craft supplies supporting parks and recreation divisions, with annual purchasing volume estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 and bids due February 25, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing dried-orchid or cut-flower supply contracts under state and local procurement.
