UNSPSC 10214903: Live bearded lavender iris

Live plant including the root ball of the bearded lavender variety of irises

UNSPSC 10214903 Live bearded lavender iris is a Commodity code whose scope in state and local procurement diverges significantly from its nominal product name. Recent solicitations tagged under this code involve large-scale landscaping, irrigation, and environmental planting projects—not iris plants specifically. State and local buyers posting under this code include Florida counties (Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), Georgia counties (DeKalb), and Texas cities (Dallas), with work spanning dune restoration, roadway median landscaping, stormwater pond management, and general plant procurement. The kinds of work being solicited are mixed: Pasco County issued an IFB in March 2026 for installation of landscaping and irrigation systems along 2.95 miles of Ridge Road including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover; Collier County ran a Quick Quote in March 2026 for coastal dune plantings with 56,250 native plants following hurricane damage; Pinellas County released an RFP in February 2026 for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services across wetlands and stormwater sites; and Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation in January 2026 for general plant purchases with specifications for new, unopened stock delivered to a single address. The code appears to function as a catch-all for plant and landscaping procurement rather than a species-specific category.

Activity clusters in Florida, where three of the four recent opportunities originated between January and March 2026, reflecting active demand for native plant installation and coastal restoration work tied to hurricane recovery and ongoing environmental management contracts. The Pasco County Ridge Road project (due April 14, 2026, contract value not to exceed $120,000) and the Collier County dune planting project (due March 13, 2026, Quick Quote) represent near-term opportunities requiring native-plant expertise and coastal-environment compliance. Pinellas County's five-year RFP (due July 29, 2025) for environmental services with SBE participation thresholds signals ongoing demand for qualified ecological restoration firms. Dallas's plant purchase solicitation is commodity-focused with straightforward specifications and overnight turnaround, representing a different market segment from the larger environmental contracts. The code shows no geographic concentration outside Florida and Texas; issuing bodies range from county environmental and parks departments to municipal procurement offices, suggesting fragmented rather than concentrated demand.
