UNSPSC 10217352: Live red tulip

Live plant including the root ball of the red variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10217352 Live red tulip is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities in the source are solicitations for IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation (DeKalb County, Georgia), large-scale landscaping and irrigation systems (Pasco County, Florida), coastal dune stabilization planting (Collier County, Florida), environmental restoration and native plant management (Pinellas County, Florida), and generic plant purchases (City of Dallas, Texas). None of these solicitations are requesting live red tulips specifically or cut flowers generally. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests the code has been misapplied to capture broader landscape and environmental planting activity.

The recent opportunities show landscape and environmental planting work across Florida jurisdictions (Pasco, Collier, and Pinellas Counties) and Texas (City of Dallas), with issuing bodies spanning county boards of commissioners and city procurement departments. Pasco County's IFB for Ridge Road landscaping and irrigation (due April 14, 2026) and Collier County's Quick Quote for coastal dune plantings (due March 13, 2026) represent typical county-scale work, while Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025) indicates longer-term environmental restoration contracting. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its stated purpose; state and local governments soliciting under 10217352 are not buying live red tulips.
