UNSPSC 10317354: Fresh cut white tulip

Fresh cut bloom of the white variety of tulips

UNSPSC 10317354 Fresh cut white tulip is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of fresh-cut floral products, including specific bulb varieties and ornamental flowers for landscaping, decoration, and horticultural applications by state and local entities. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments are using this code for two distinct purposes: hanging flower basket design, installation, and maintenance contracts that include live plant material and seasonal replacements, and direct purchase of fresh plant inventory for municipal facilities and grounds. Los Alamos County in New Mexico is soliciting design and maintenance services for up to 144 hanging flower baskets on town streets under RFP26-55, with proposals due June 4, 2026, requiring contractors to hold a valid New Mexico nursery dealer license and proposing pricing across a potential seven-year contract term. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation (IFS 215260) for the purchase of plants with delivery to a municipal facility; all items must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with bids due February 3, 2026. These buyers include municipalities and counties operating parks and recreation divisions or grounds maintenance operations.

Geographic activity under the code concentrates in the Southwest and South, with documented recent solicitations in New Mexico (Los Alamos County) and Texas (City of Dallas). The issuing bodies are primarily municipalities and county parks and recreation departments managing public landscapes and streetscapes. The scope of work ranges from one-time plant purchases delivered FOB to specific municipal addresses to multi-year design, installation, and maintenance contracts for seasonal flower basket programs. Evaluation criteria in the hanging basket work favor qualifications, references, design quality, and cost over commodity pricing alone. State and local preference programs apply in New Mexico, where Los Alamos County offers preference for local business, resident business, Native American resident business, and veteran business classifications with documented preference certificates required. The code shows active procurement activity but limited recent volume; no cooperative purchasing vehicles or statewide education service centers are using it for floral products, and the majority of opportunities are project-based or annual refresh procurements rather than standing catalog or supply agreements.
