UNSPSC 10217000: Live sunflowers

Live plants including the root ball of sunflowers

UNSPSC 10217000 Live sunflowers, a Class code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, landscaping and irrigation systems, coastal dune restoration with native plantings, environmental remediation and monitoring services, and general plant procurement — none of which align with the purchase or supply of live sunflowers as a commodity. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and its current assignment in state and local RFPs and IFBs.

The code shows active solicitation across Florida county governments (Pasco County, Collier County, Pinellas County), a Georgia county (DeKalb County), and the City of Dallas, with notice types spanning ITB, IFB, and RFP with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Representative opportunities include Pasco County's IFB for landscaping and irrigation along Ridge Road (due April 14, 2026), Collier County's Quick Quote for Pelican Bay dune plantings with native species including dune sunflower (due March 13, 2026), Pinellas County's five-year RFP for environmental planting, monitoring, and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025), and the City of Dallas's informal solicitation for plants (due February 3, 2026). Until the code assignment is corrected or clarified, this code presents little actionable signal for vendors targeting specific sunflower procurement opportunities.
