UNSPSC 10214909: Live bearded yellow iris

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

UNSPSC 10214909 Live bearded yellow iris (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single ornamental plant species, yet the five recent opportunities posted under or near this code span IT infrastructure installation, roadway landscaping and irrigation, coastal dune restoration planting, environmental wetland and stormwater remediation services, and general plant procurement — none of which specifically target bearded yellow iris or relate to the botanical scope the code name suggests. The issuing bodies include county commissions (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas), a city government (Dallas), and their work encompasses capital construction, environmental management, and materials supply across multiple disciplines and geographies, not a coherent product category.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Georgia, Florida (three separate counties), and Texas, reflecting dispersed state and local activity rather than concentrated demand. The representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026, with a not-to-exceed contract price of $120,000), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings with 56,250 native plants (due March 13, 2026), and Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025). The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for general plant purchase (due February 3, 2026). None of these opportunities explicitly reference bearded yellow iris, and the code appears to carry misaligned tagging. Business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service need directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code's recent posting history.
