UNSPSC 10314902: Fresh cut bearded blue iris

Fresh cut bloom of the bearded blue variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314902 Fresh cut bearded blue iris is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural supplies for landscaping, beautification, and grounds-maintenance programs. Recent solicitations show that the code is applied broadly to flower and plant procurement, including hanging baskets, general plant purchases, and multi-year horticultural service contracts. Issuing bodies under this code include city parks and recreation departments, county government purchasing offices, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas have recently solicited under this code; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies that spans a much broader scope than ornamental plants alone, suggesting some mislabeling or overly broad code application in the cooperative vehicle.

Activity concentrates in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-site streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and an estimated award date of July 14, 2026; the procurement requires a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and applies Los Alamos County local-business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and New Mexico Statute Section 13-1-21. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) for plant purchases on January 28, 2026, with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring new, unopened, and original-packaging inventory shipped FOB to a Dallas facility. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted EDACT2628, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with proposals due July 30, 2026, covering a two-year term through August 20, 2028; the estimated total expenditures are $40.677 billion, and 136 previous awards indicate this is a renewal of an existing agreement.
