UNSPSC 10314910: Fresh cut blue elegance iris

Fresh cut bloom of the blue elegance variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314910 Fresh cut blue elegance iris (Commodity) addresses fresh floral products used in landscaping, parks, and civic beautification projects by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement under this specific code. The scope of work in posted opportunities spans design and installation of ornamental plantings—primarily hanging flower baskets and general plant materials—rather than the narrow category of cut iris flowers that the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, city departments, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. The mismatch between the code's specificity (cut blue elegance iris) and the actual buying pattern (broad plant materials and horticultural services) suggests the code sees limited, specialized activity.

Recent activity clusters in the Southwest and South. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets across 144 placements with proposals due June 4, 2026; the City of Dallas conducted an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for general plant materials with a February 3, 2026 response date; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a broad educational activities and supplies catalog discount bid (EDACT2628) due July 30, 2026, covering miscellaneous commodity categories including plants. The Los Alamos procurement emphasizes horticultural design and maintenance expertise alongside supply, with evaluation weighted heavily toward qualifications, experience, and design quality. State and local preference programs appear in the New Mexico solicitation (Local, Resident, Native American, and Veteran Business classifications), while Texas cooperative purchasing and Dallas municipal procurement follow standard municipal evaluation criteria. The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting fresh cut iris—most posting activity reflects broader plant procurement or landscape services rather than wholesale cut-flower supply.
