UNSPSC 10217003: Live sunbeam sunflower

Live plant including the root ball of the sunbeam variety of sunflowers

UNSPSC 10217003 Live sunbeam sunflower is a Commodity code that captures the supply and installation of dune sunflower and related native dune plants used in coastal restoration and dune stabilization projects by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local buying focused on supply of native plant materials — particularly dune sunflower liners — alongside installation labor, site preparation, watering, and performance monitoring in dune restoration contexts. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Pasco County, Pinellas County), municipalities (City of Dallas), and specialized county divisions (Pinellas County environmental services). County boards and parks departments appear as repeat buyers for environmental restoration work.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's March 2026 Quick Quote solicitation for the Pelican Bay Bay Colony Dune Plantings project, which specified supply and installation of approximately 20,925 dune sunflower units (designated as 2-inch liners planted at 24-inch centers) alongside sea oats, railroad vine, and sea purslane across coastal dune zones damaged in the 2024 tropical season, with bid responses due March 13, 2026; Pasco County's April 2026 IFB for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, which included dune sunflower as one component of broader median and right-of-way plantings with a contract price cap of $120,000 and responses due April 14, 2026; and Pinellas County's July 2025 RFP for Environmental Planting, Monitoring, Reporting and Maintenance Services spanning five years (2025–2030), which encompassed native plant installation and site maintenance at wetlands, stormwater ponds, and surface water conveyances with a Small Business Enterprise participation threshold of $100,000 not-to-exceed per work assignment. The City of Dallas issued an IFS in January 2026 for general plant purchase, though the specific species mix was not disclosed in the solicitation summary.
