UNSPSC 10217320: Live french orange unique tulip

Live plant including the root ball of the french orange unique variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10217320 Live french orange unique tulip is a Commodity code that appears to capture landscape and horticultural planting materials and related installation services procured by state and local governments. The recent solicitations associated with this code, however, reflect broader environmental and infrastructure planting work rather than the specific product named in the code's title. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code include county governments, cities, and special-purpose districts. The scope of work encompasses native plant installation for coastal dune restoration, landscape and irrigation system installation along roadways, environmental site remediation including invasive species removal and native plant establishment, general plant procurement for municipal facilities, and IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (though the latter appears to be a tagging error). Contractors performing this work typically must hold relevant Florida state certifications such as Licensed Public Applicator credentials, demonstrate wetland ecology or coastal restoration expertise, comply with environmental permitting requirements including NPDES and stormwater pollution prevention protocols, carry insurance naming the county as additional insured, and in some cases participate in E-Verify registration.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; and Pinellas County, Florida have posted opportunities. Representative solicitations include Pasco County's IFB KM-26-047 for landscape and irrigation installation along Ridge Road (2.95 miles, due April 14, 2026, total contract value $120,000.00); Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings involving 56,250 native dune plants and post-hurricane coastal restoration (due March 13, 2026); Pinellas County's RFP 250628RFP for five-year environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (2025–2030) including invasive species removal and native plant installation at wetland and stormwater sites; and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for plant purchase (due February 3, 2026, plants FOB delivery). The code shows inconsistent application—the DeKalb County opportunity is primarily IT and low-voltage infrastructure, suggesting misalignment with the code's nominal horticultural scope. Excluding that outlier, the code captures genuine landscape and native-plant restoration work in the Southeast, primarily in Florida counties responding to environmental and post-hurricane recovery needs.
