UNSPSC 10317345: Fresh cut parrot red tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the parrot red variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317345 Fresh cut parrot red tulip (Commodity) represents a specific ornamental plant product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of fresh-cut tulips. The most active recent opportunities solicited under or near this taxonomy involve hanging flower baskets and general plant materials for landscaping and beautification projects. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted a cooperative purchasing vehicle (EDACT2628) for educational activities and supplies with an estimated total value of $40.677 billion over two years, though the scope appears to encompass a broad range of products rather than fresh-cut flowers specifically. Los Alamos County in New Mexico solicited an RFP for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town streets, requiring a valid nursery dealer license and multi-year maintenance of living plant material. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for plants requiring new, unopened items in original packaging with FOB delivery to a Dallas address. A DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center site represents material misalignment with the fresh-cut tulip code and suggests tagging inconsistency in the source data.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed and limited in recent volume. The most relevant opportunities appear in Texas (Region 7's cooperative purchasing network and Dallas city procurement), New Mexico (Los Alamos County), and Georgia, though only the Los Alamos and Dallas solicitations directly address plant procurement. Los Alamos County's hanging flower basket RFP (RFP26-55), due June 4, 2026, emphasizes qualifications and design capabilities alongside cost and references existing streetscape infrastructure; the County applies local and New Mexico resident business preferences. The City of Dallas's plant purchase IFS (215260), due February 3, 2026, operated on a shortest-turnaround basis with FOB delivery requirements and no disclosed award value. The code shows little focused recent activity specifically for fresh-cut parrot red tulips as a distinct commodity; state and local procurement under this code appears to favor landscape maintenance contracts and bulk plant sourcing rather than specialty cut-flower purchasing.
