NIGP 96139: Floral Designing and Arranging Services

NIGP 96139 Floral Designing and Arranging Services, an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under this classification. The recent solicitation activity attributed to NIGP 96139 comprises irrigation system improvements, pine straw supply and installation, educational supplies cooperative purchasing, and landscape architecture design services — none of which constitute floral designing or arranging work. The opportunities span park infrastructure upgrades, grounds maintenance contracting, and professional design services managed by municipal governments and education cooperatives, representing work that falls outside the floral services commodity scope.

The four opportunities posted between May and October 2026 originate from Florida municipalities (City of DeBary, City of Milton, City of Orlando) and a Texas education service center cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). The City of DeBary issued an IFB for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system conversion with an April 10, 2015 due date and $90,000 engineer's estimate; the City of Milton issued an ITB for pine straw supply, delivery, and installation services due May 27, 2026 on an as-needed, multi-year contract with options to renew up to four years; the City of Orlando issued an RQS for continuing landscape architecture and planning design services due June 4, 2026 with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year extensions; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicited catalog discount bids for educational activities and supplies due July 30, 2026, estimating $40.677 billion in expenditures over a two-year term. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code may be misconfigured in the source data or the opportunities have been misclassified.
