UNSPSC 10217349: Live parrot yellow tulip

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

UNSPSC 10217349 Live parrot yellow tulip (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually buying. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation systems along roadways, coastal dune restoration using native plants, environmental remediation and wetland management, and generic plant purchases for municipal use — none of which align with procurement of live parrot yellow tulips or horticultural specimens of that specificity. The code sees activity from county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida), a city procurement office (City of Dallas, Texas), and special districts, but the tagged opportunities do not reflect a coherent commodity family. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in source systems or that the code itself is not in active use for state and local procurement in the way the taxonomy intends.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one Dallas-based solicitation. Representative opportunities include DeKalb County's ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center (due July 13, 2026), Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation on Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026 with a $120,000 contract ceiling), Collier County's Quick Quote procurement for coastal dune plantings with native species following 2024 hurricane damage (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's RFP for environmental planting and wetland management services (due July 29, 2025 with SBE participation thresholds noted), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plant purchases (due February 3, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be misapplied to actual state and local solicitations.
