UNSPSC 10317351: Fresh cut purple tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the purple variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317351 Fresh cut purple tulip is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a narrow range of horticultural procurement by state and local governments — primarily fresh-cut flower baskets, hanging planters, and related flowering plant materials for municipal beautification and landscaping projects rather than bulk wholesale floristry or landscaping design services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily municipal parks and recreation divisions, county government procurement offices, and education service centers managing cooperative purchasing agreements for school district supplies. While the code's title suggests a single flower variety, state and local buyers use it to tag solicitations for mixed floral baskets and seasonal plantings, reflecting the practical bundling of horticultural materials for public-space maintenance rather than botanical specificity.

Recent activity shows solicitation across the Southwest and South, with Los Alamos County, New Mexico issuing RFP 2655 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across town-center streets (proposals due June 4, 2026, with a multi-year contract term of up to seven years), and the City of Dallas issuing Informal Solicitation 215260 for general plant purchases with delivery to a municipal address (due February 3, 2026). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted EDACT2628 in June 2026, a catalog discount bid for educational activities and supplies with an estimated $40.677 billion expenditure over two years through a cooperative vehicle serving multiple school districts; however, this posting appears mistagged under the fresh-cut tulip code and does not reflect actual floral procurement activity. The code shows light overall activity — no pattern of repeat jurisdictional buyers or concentrated geographic purchasing. Vendors pursuing opportunities should expect municipal RFPs and RFQs requiring nursery licensing, multi-season maintenance commitments, and performance guarantees for plant health and aesthetics.
