UNSPSC 10314916: Fresh cut professor blue iris

Fresh cut bloom of the professor blue variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314916 Fresh cut professor blue iris is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure cut flowers and floral materials for landscaping, beautification, and general horticultural projects. Recent solicitation activity shows this code applied to a wide range of plant and flower procurement, though the specific variety named in the code—professor blue iris—appears rarely in actual solicitations. Instead, state and local buyers use the code broadly for fresh plants and flowers, including hanging flower baskets, mixed plant purchases for municipal landscaping, and bulk horticultural supplies ordered through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, municipal purchasing offices, and education service cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple districts and jurisdictions. The work encompasses supplier relationships for seasonal plantings, landscape maintenance materials, and bulk flower procurement with specifications for delivery, quality assurance (new, unopened packaging), warranty periods, and sometimes site-specific installation or maintenance services.

Recent activity spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Los Alamos County in New Mexico posted RFP26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets for town-site landscaping, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and evaluated on qualifications (35 points), references (10 points), design and maintenance (35 points), and cost (20 points); the contractor must hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 in January 2026 for plant purchases with bids due February 3, 2026, requiring all items new and unopened with FOB delivery to a specified Dallas address and one-year warranty from acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies under EDACT2628 (due July 30, 2026), with an estimated total expenditure of $40.677 billion over a two-year contract term beginning August 20, 2026, serving multiple school districts within its network.
