UNSPSC 10314900: Fresh cut irises

Fresh cut bloom of irises

UNSPSC 10314900 Fresh cut irises is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of plants, flowers, and related horticultural materials for public spaces, facilities, and landscaping projects. Recent opportunities under this code show substantial breadth: Los Alamos County, New Mexico is procuring design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets (up to 144 units) for town-site streets under RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026; the City of Dallas is soliciting bids for plants under an informal solicitation due February 3, 2026, with delivery to a municipal facility; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, is conducting a broad catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated two-year value of $40.677 billion and a due date of July 30, 2026. The issuing bodies include municipalities (cities), counties, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles on behalf of school districts. The scope ranges from ornamental hanging baskets with ongoing maintenance and drip-irrigation management to bulk plant purchases for municipal inventory, indicating that the code encompasses both specialty horticultural services and commodity plant procurement.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and New Mexico, with the Texas education cooperative representing the largest recent opportunity by volume. The Los Alamos County RFP requires vendors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and emphasizes qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance capability (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); the contract is multi-year (up to seven years) with pricing required for each potential year and preference available under New Mexico local business and resident-business classifications. The Dallas municipal procurement is a simpler, lower-touch informal solicitation requiring new, unopened plants FOB delivery, with a one-year warranty and no alternatives accepted. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative opportunity, while tagged under this code, appears primarily oriented toward educational supplies rather than fresh flowers or horticultural services specifically.
