UNSPSC 10452401: Dried cut alizarin vanda orchid

Dried cut bloom of the alizarin vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10452401 Dried cut alizarin vanda orchid is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Fulton County, Georgia's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden Landscape services—involves broad landscape maintenance work (quarterly pruning, weeding, mulching, irrigation system management, pressure washing, and installation of bat boxes and bird houses) rather than procurement of dried orchids or cut flowers. The scope emphasizes native grasses, trees, shrubs, and perennials in pollinator and rain gardens, with no mention of dried alizarin vanda orchids or any cut-flower materials. The contractor must employ a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrate knowledge of water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards.

The single posted opportunity is from Fulton County, Georgia, with bids due November 30, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for November 4. The contract runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Award is based on lowest responsive and responsible bid, with evaluation of price, bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, and past performance. MBE availability is rated at 34.71% and FBE availability at 11.45% for the construction work category. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried cut orchids) and the actual work being solicited (landscape maintenance) suggests this opportunity was miscoded or that the code itself has limited relevance to current state and local demand.
