UNSPSC 10452405: Dried cut tickle me pink vanda orchid

Dried cut bloom of the tickle me pink vanda variety of orchids

UNSPSC 10452405 Dried cut tickle me pink vanda orchid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not align with the code's nominal scope of horticultural products. Fulton County, Georgia's October 2026 ITB for landscape maintenance services at the South Fulton Demonstration Garden—covering pollinator and rain garden upkeep, irrigation management, seasonal plantings, and integrated pest management—reflects operational grounds care rather than the procurement of dried orchids. The work involves quarterly maintenance of established gardens across a 0.95-acre site, including selective pruning, mulching, pressure washing, and habitat installations (bat boxes, bird houses). The county requires a Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect on staff and demonstrated competency in water-efficient landscaping and wildlife habitat standards. This code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity description; the single tagged opportunity represents a service contract mismatch rather than evidence of dried orchid procurement by state and local bodies.

Fulton County, Georgia posted the only recent opportunity under this code as of October 2026. The ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM carries a November 30, 2026 response deadline, with a pre-bid conference on November 4 and recommended site visit on November 10. The contract term runs from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals subject to Board of Commissioners approval. Certified MBE firm availability is 34.71% for this construction work category; FBE firm availability is 11.45%. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on price, bidder experience, technical qualifications, financial capability, past performance, and compliance with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify requirements. The contractor must carry Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1 million per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability, and Professional E&O Liability insurance.
