UNSPSC 10317319: Fresh cut french montpellier tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the french montpellier variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317319 Fresh cut french montpellier tulip is a Commodity code representing ornamental flowering plants and cut flowers that state and local governments procure for parks, public spaces, civic landscaping, and seasonal decoration programs. The recent opportunities posted under this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal focus on a specific tulip variety and the actual work being solicited. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation in January 2026 for the purchase of plants with no specific variety restrictions, and Los Alamos County conducted an RFP in May 2026 for the design, installation, and maintenance of hanging flower baskets using plant material supplied by the contractor and requiring a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license. State and local issuing bodies under this code include municipalities (the City of Dallas), counties (Los Alamos County), and education service centers (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, which solicited educational activities and supplies under a cooperative purchasing vehicle in June 2026). The education-sector solicitation, while tagged to this UNSPSC code, addresses general educational supplies rather than ornamental plants, indicating potential misclassification in the procurement system.

The geographic activity visible in the recent opportunities spans Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, though the Georgia opportunity (DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction) involves IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation unrelated to floriculture and appears to be miscoded. The most relevant recent solicitations are the City of Dallas plant purchase due February 3, 2026 (with delivery to 1775 California Crossing Rd. Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75220, FOB delivery, one-year warranty required), and Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP due June 4, 2026 (with proposals evaluated on qualifications and experience at 35 points, design and maintenance solution at 35 points, references at 10 points, and cost at 20 points, with contract award estimated for July 14, 2026). Los Alamos County extends local and resident New Mexico business preferences under County Code Section 31-261(b) and NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-21, requiring current preference certificates and, for local preference, a Los Alamos County Business License with principal office in the county. The code shows sparse and scattered recent activity with significant miscoding risk, limiting reliable demand signals for pursuit.
