UNSPSC 10314918: Fresh cut spuria iris

Fresh cut bloom of the spuria variety of irises

UNSPSC 10314918 Fresh cut spuria iris is a Commodity code that captures ornamental flowering plants and cut flower procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity under this specific code is sparse and does not reflect active solicitation volume. State and local governments posting opportunities under this code seek fresh botanical materials for landscaping, civic beautification, and institutional grounds maintenance. The issuing bodies include counties, cities, and education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and school districts. Work solicited ranges from one-time plant purchases for immediate delivery to multi-year standing agreements for seasonal flower basket design, installation, and maintenance services that include supplying live plant material, managing irrigation infrastructure, and replacing failed specimens.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas and the Southwest. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued RFP26-55 in May 2026 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets distributed across town-site streets, requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 14, 2026; the scope includes plant-material supply, seasonal installation by May 15, ten-day replacement guarantees, and multi-year pricing through seven potential contract years, with New Mexico local-business, resident-business, and veteran-business preferences available. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for plant purchases in January 2026 with a February 3 response date, specifying new, unopened materials in original packaging, FOB delivery to a Dallas address, and a one-year warranty covering replacement of failed or nonconforming goods at no cost to the city. A January 2026 Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative renewal (EDACT2628) in Texas estimated $40.677 billion in total expenditures over two years and included educational activities and supplies with 136 prior awards, though the scope does not clearly map to fresh-cut flower procurement alone. The recent-opportunity mix suggests that fresh iris and related cut-flower work appears infrequently in posted state and local solicitations; practitioners should monitor cooperative-purchasing renewals and RFPs from parks and public-works divisions in southwestern and Texas jurisdictions for episodic activity.
