UNSPSC 10217348: Live parrot white tulip

Live plant including the root ball of the parrot white variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10217348 Live parrot white tulip, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation for a tennis center reconstruction, landscaping and irrigation system design and installation along a county road, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental site remediation and native plant installation with monitoring, and the purchase of plants for city use — none of which align with procurement of live parrot white tulips or any parrot-related botanical goods. The issuing bodies include county departments (DeKalb County, Pasco County, Collier County, and Pinellas County in Florida, all with substantial environmental or facilities management portfolios), a city procurement office (City of Dallas), and special-purpose environmental and parks divisions. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for landscape and environmental planting work rather than a discrete commodity line, suggesting either cataloging inconsistency or deliberate use of the code as a functional grouping for vegetation-related state and local services.

The code's activity concentrates in Florida, with four of five recent solicitations posted by Florida county governments (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas counties, plus Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental monitoring and native plant restoration from 2025 to 2030). DeKalb County, Georgia posted an ITB for tennis center reconstruction with IT infrastructure due July 13, 2026, and the City of Dallas issued an IFS for plant purchase due February 3, 2026. The geographic concentration in Florida reflects coastal and environmental restoration demand following the 2024 hurricane season, particularly visible in Collier County's Pelican Bay dune restoration quick quote (due March 13, 2026) and Pasco County's Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation IFB for $120,000 (due April 14, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated commodity name and the actual work being procured, firms pursuing this code should treat it as a functional grouping for state and local landscape, environmental restoration, and grounds-management services rather than a specific product line, and monitor Florida county environmental and parks procurement channels for the most active recent volume.
