UNSPSC 10214917: Live purple iris

Live plant including the root ball of the purple variety of irises

UNSPSC 10214917 Live purple iris is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a single plant species, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span IT infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration using multiple native plant species, environmental planting and invasive species removal across wetlands and stormwater facilities, and general plant procurement for municipal use. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying the code to broader landscape and horticulture work rather than to live purple iris specifically, or that the tagging of these opportunities to the code is inconsistent with the code's intended scope.

Recent activity has been concentrated in Florida county and municipal governments—Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County, and the City of Dallas—with one DeKalb County, Georgia opportunity for IT infrastructure that appears unrelated to the code's plant focus. Pasco County issued an IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road with a bid due date of April 14, 2026, and Collier County solicited dune planting supply and installation via Quick Quote with a March 13, 2026 response deadline. Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services with a July 29, 2025 proposal deadline, and the City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for plant purchases due February 3, 2026. The code shows minimal activity clearly aligned with live purple iris procurement, and business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for horticulture and landscape work before pursuing opportunities under this code.
