UNSPSC 10317350: Fresh cut pink tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the pink variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317350 Fresh cut pink tulip is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little direct purchasing of fresh cut pink tulips. Instead, the four most recent solicitations spanning January through June 2026 reveal a fundamental mismatch: the code is being used to tag broad horticultural and plant-supply procurements that fall well outside fresh cut flowers. Los Alamos County's RFP26-55 seeks design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets with live plants across multiple years, requiring a nursery dealer license and ongoing irrigation monitoring. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for general plants (species unspecified) in new, unopened original packaging, FOB to a Dallas distribution center. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, posted EDACT2628, a broad catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion expenditure over two years—a catchall cooperative purchasing vehicle unlikely to stock cut flowers. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076 is plainly unrelated, covering IT and low-voltage infrastructure for a tennis-center reconstruction. The code shows little relevant recent activity for fresh cut pink tulips specifically; issuers are using it to capture landscape and horticultural services more broadly.

Recent solicitations originate in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, City of Dallas) and New Mexico (Los Alamos County), with one Georgia opportunity unrelated to the code's nominal scope. Issuing bodies include an education service center cooperative, two cities, and one county, reflecting fragmented demand across municipal parks and facilities departments rather than centralized purchasing. The Los Alamos County RFP26-55 closed June 4, 2026, with contract award planned for July 14, 2026; evaluation weighted qualifications and experience at 35 points, design and maintenance at 35 points, references at 10 points, and cost at 20 points. New Mexico preference programs favor local, resident, and Native American resident businesses with valid state-issued certificates. The City of Dallas's informal solicitation, due February 3, 2026, required one-year warranties and Conflict of Interest questionnaires under Texas Local Government Code. Neither the Dallas nor the cooperative's solicitation disclosed dollar values. The code's association with landscape and horticultural maintenance contracts, not cut-flower retail or wholesale supply, signals that business development under this taxonomy should target municipal facilities and parks operations rather than floral distributors.
