UNSPSC 10317301: Fresh cut adrem tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the adrem variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317301 Fresh cut adrem tulip is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure ornamental and landscape plant materials, specifically cut flowers and potted plants for municipal beautification, parks, and special event purposes. The code sees solicitation activity across multiple issuing-body types: county parks and recreation departments, municipal public works and beautification divisions, city procurement offices, and regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of direct plant procurement (cut flowers, potted plants requiring replacement) and longer-term landscape maintenance contracts where plant supply is bundled with design, installation, and seasonal care obligations. The work involves vendors who can supply quality plant material on schedule, comply with packaging and condition requirements, and in some cases hold horticultural licenses or demonstrate relevant experience in municipal landscape work.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Southwest, with recent solicitations from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (serving multiple Texas school districts), the City of Dallas (IFS 215260, posted January 28, 2026, due February 3, 2026, for plant purchases FOB delivery in Dallas), Los Alamos County, New Mexico (RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and multi-year maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets, due June 4, 2026), and DeKalb County, Georgia (though the DeKalb Tennis Center ITB posted June 9, 2026 addresses IT infrastructure, not plant material, and appears mistagged to this code). The Los Alamos RFP is representative of the highest-value opportunity: a seven-year multi-term contract requiring vendors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license, deliver and install plants by mid-May annually, maintain drip irrigation, and replace failed plants at no cost within ten days of installation, with evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance capability (35 points), references (10 points), and cost (20 points); New Mexico local-vendor and resident-business preferences apply. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative solicitation (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) is an established catalog-discount vehicle with 136 previous awards serving school districts on a two-year term; estimated total expenditures are stated as $40.677 billion, though this figure likely reflects the aggregate spend across all educational products in the catalog, not fresh-cut flowers alone. The Dallas procurement reflects straightforward spot-buy demand for plants in original packaging, FOB delivery, with a one-year warranty and tax-exempt status.
