UNSPSC 10317314: Fresh cut french flaming parrot tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the french flaming parrot variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317314 Fresh cut french flaming parrot tulip is a Commodity code that encompasses ornamental plant material and horticultural services for public grounds maintenance and beautification, though recent state and local opportunities show the code tagged to a mix of landscape maintenance, irrigation services, educational supplies, and infrastructure work with inconsistent relevance to the nominal category. The most directly aligned recent solicitations involve landscape and grounds maintenance services for public jurisdictions—garden bed plantings, seasonal color installations, pollinator and rain garden upkeep, and hanging basket design and maintenance—rather than cut flowers specifically. Issuing bodies include counties (Fulton County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), and regional cooperative purchasing entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The scope of work across recent opportunities spans quarterly landscape maintenance including pruning, weeding, mulching, and pressure washing; irrigation system operations and repairs; installation and seasonal replacement of annual plantings; and specialized horticultural knowledge such as native plantings, pollinator habitat, and drip irrigation management. Contractors must hold relevant state licenses (Georgia-licensed Landscape Architect, New Mexico nursery dealer license) and demonstrate familiarity with sustainable landscaping, integrated pest management, and wildlife habitat standards.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Representative opportunities include Fulton County's ITB 26ITB1652296A-KM for South Fulton Maintenance & Operational Demonstration Garden landscape services (bids due November 30, 2026, with a site visit recommended November 10 and pre-bid conference November 4), Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26246ITBMST for landscape and irrigation installation, maintenance, and repair across district facilities (proposals due August 5, 2026, with addendum 1 issued July 21, 2026), and Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance serving up to 144 baskets across town streets (proposals due June 4, 2026, with pre-proposal conference May 13). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog discount bid EDACT2628 for educational activities and supplies (estimated at $40.677 billion over two years through August 2028) and DeKalb County's IT infrastructure reconstruction for a tennis center appear miscoded to this Commodity and reflect limited relevance to horticultural procurement.
