It could be that he meant the bulbs are long life. Usually tulip bulbs are thrown away after flowering because they split into smaller bulbs, will get a bigger bulb out of the split bulb that will flower but it will be smaller than the original.

Do tulips grow back every year?

My guess is it is a sales gimmick, 'These ones will last for ages' especially if they came in a pot rather than as loose bulbs. However some hybrid tulips are only good for one year, it could mean it's not them. I wouldn't expect much from container grown tulips in their second year either.
