UNSPSC 10214912: Live golden beau iris

Live plant including the root ball of the golden beau variety of irises

UNSPSC 10214912 Live golden beau iris, a Commodity code, shows material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a specific ornamental plant species, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass broad landscape installation, dune restoration, environmental planting and maintenance, and generic plant procurement—work that spans multiple plant species and extends far beyond iris supply alone. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction (due July 13, 2026) is tagged to this code but concerns IT and low-voltage infrastructure systems, not plant material at all. The Pasco County IFB KM-26-047 for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) involves mixed plantings—trees, shrubs, palms, groundcover—rather than iris. Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings (due March 13, 2026) solicits native dune species including sea oats, railroad vine, sea purslane, and dune sunflower for coastal restoration. Pinellas County's RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services (due July 29, 2025) seeks comprehensive ecological restoration and invasive species removal across 150 native plant species. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation 215260 for the Purchase of Plants (due February 3, 2026) requests new, unopened plants without species specification. The issuing bodies span counties (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a major city (Dallas), reflecting diverse municipal and county procurement needs for landscape and environmental work.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida—Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties posted three of five recent opportunities—with secondary activity in Georgia (DeKalb County) and Texas (Dallas). The code shows no discernible recent activity aligned with iris supply specifically; instead, state and local governments are buying landscape installation services, dune restoration, environmental mitigation, and mixed plant procurement under a code that nominally describes a single ornamental species. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous plant-related work rather than as a true commodity identifier for iris products. Business development professionals should confirm the actual commodity or service scope with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the recent solicitations do not reflect iris procurement.
