UNSPSC 10217304: Live double bicolor tulip

Live plant including the root ball of the double bicolor variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10217304 Live double bicolor tulip is a Commodity code that nominally describes ornamental flowering bulbs, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the actual commodity scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span landscaping and irrigation installation, coastal dune stabilization with native plant materials, environmental restoration services, and a general plant purchase by the City of Dallas—none of which target tulips or match the narrowly defined commodity description. The issuing bodies include counties (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida and Georgia) and a major city (Dallas), suggesting that state and local procurement offices are using this code for broader ornamental and native planting work rather than for the specific bulb variety the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Georgia, with the most visible activity in the Florida Gulf Coast region. Pasco County issued an IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation installation due April 14, 2026, budgeted at $120,000 and encompassing trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover across 2.95 miles. Collier County posted a Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony dune plantings due March 13, 2026, requiring supply and installation of approximately 56,250 native dune plants including sea oats, railroad vine, and sea purslane following tropical storm damage. Pinellas County released an RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning 2025–2030, with proposals due July 29, 2025, targeting wetland restoration and invasive species removal at multiple county sites. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation for a general plant purchase due February 3, 2026. The mismatch between the code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests that business development professionals pursuing opportunities under this code should expect landscaping, habitat restoration, and erosion control projects rather than specialty bulb procurement.
