It's not dirt. It's Promix, which is a REALLY great media for growing these plants.
Contact Seattle Orchid. No, really. Send them an email. Take pictures and include them in your email. They will make this right. Every time I have had an issue, even if it wasn't their fault, they have made it right for me.
EDITED TO ADD: Reading your post again, I suspect you are not seeing soil mites. You are probably seeing springtails. That's just an indicator to me that a plant needs to be repotted because the medium is broken down. Repot it as soon as all of the blooms fall, if it is currently in bloom.
