UNSPSC 10217300: Live tulips

Live plants including the root ball of tulips

UNSPSC 10217300 Live tulips is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The five opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span IT infrastructure installation (DeKalb County, Georgia), landscape and irrigation construction (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune restoration planting (Collier County, Florida), environmental restoration and maintenance (Pinellas County, Florida), and generic plant procurement (City of Dallas, Texas). Only the Dallas purchase order and Collier County dune planting solicitation directly involve plants as a deliverable; the others treat planting or vegetation as one component of broader construction, landscape, or environmental management contracts. The code shows no recent activity that centers on cut flowers, potted tulips, or the floral commodity the code name suggests state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county governments (DeKalb, Pasco, Collier, Pinellas) and a city (Dallas), with no repeat buyers in the recent block. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (four of five opportunities) and Texas (one). Representative recent opportunities include Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for landscaping and irrigation installation on Ridge Road, due April 14, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $120,000; Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune planting supply and installation, due March 13, 2026; Pinellas County's five-year Request for Proposal for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services, due July 29, 2025; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation for plant purchase, due February 3, 2026. The code appears to carry a tagging mismatch — recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of live tulips or cut flowers as discrete product lines.
