UNSPSC 10314911: Fresh cut casablanca iris

Fresh cut bloom of the casablanca variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314911 Fresh cut casablanca iris is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government purchases of ornamental floral products for landscaping, beautification, and civic infrastructure projects. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local governments are buying fresh flowers and flowering plants for public spaces, streetscapes, and recreational facilities rather than the narrowly specified iris variety alone. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, city municipalities, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and government entities. Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Division, the City of Dallas, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas education service center) are recent active buyers. The scope spans both standalone flower procurement (fresh plants for delivery) and integrated floral design and maintenance contracts (installation, seasonal replacement, and ongoing horticultural management of public streetscapes and park amenities).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across the town site, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and an estimated award date of July 14, 2026; the contract contemplates a multi-year term of up to seven years with weighted evaluation criteria heavily favoring qualifications and design solution (35 points each) over cost (20 points), and the solicitation offers local, resident, and Native American business preferences under New Mexico law. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 with a due date of February 3, 2026 for plant purchases delivered FOB to Dallas; all items must be new and in original packaging with no substitutes accepted, and the city awards a one-year warranty on all delivered goods. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a catalog discount-bid solicitation (EDACT2628) on June 15, 2026 with proposals due July 30, 2026 for educational activities and supplies; though the scope nominally includes educational products, the presence of this posting under the iris code appears to represent a tagging mismatch rather than actual fresh-flower procurement by the cooperative.
