UNSPSC 10314903: Fresh cut bearded lavender iris

Fresh cut bloom of the bearded lavender variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314903 Fresh cut bearded lavender iris is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plant procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity shows the code is not actively solicited under this specific commodity line. The recent opportunities posted under this code number do not align with its nominal scope: a Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicitation (EDACT2628) seeks catalog discount bids on broad educational activities and supplies with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over two years; a DeKalb County, Georgia ITB addresses IT and low voltage infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction; and the City of Dallas IFS (215260) requests a general purchase of plants with no lavender iris specification. Only the Los Alamos County RFP for hanging flower baskets (RFP26-55) involves ornamental plant material—144 hanging baskets across town streets—but the solicitation does not specify lavender iris as the plant species and instead emphasizes design flexibility, irrigation maintenance, and a nursery dealer license requirement. The issuing bodies represent a mix of education service centers, county governments, and municipalities, but the mismatch between the code's commodity definition and the actual scope of posted solicitations suggests limited current procurement activity specifically for fresh cut bearded lavender iris at the state and local level.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico, though none of the posted opportunities explicitly target bearded lavender iris. The Los Alamos County RFP26-55, due June 4, 2026, represents the closest match to ornamental plant procurement, with design and maintenance evaluated at 35 points, qualifications at 35 points, references at 10 points, and cost at 20 points; the contract term contemplates up to seven years with price escalation mechanisms subject to county discretion. Los Alamos County offers local, resident, native American, and veteran business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21, with offerors required to submit preference certificates and maintain principal offices in the county for local designation. The City of Dallas IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, specified FOB delivery to 1775 California Crossing Road, Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75220, with a one-year warranty and no alternatives accepted. This code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors interested in bearded lavender iris procurement should monitor horticultural and landscape maintenance codes rather than rely on this commodity line.
