UNSPSC 10317000: Fresh cut sunflowers

Fresh cut blooms of sunflowers

UNSPSC 10317000 Fresh cut sunflowers is a Class code that encompasses ornamental plant material and floral products procured by state and local governments for landscaping, grounds beautification, and public space enhancement. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that governments buy living plants including hanging flower baskets, landscape plantings, and general plant inventory for parks, civic facilities, and municipal grounds. Issuing bodies include city parks departments, county recreation and open space divisions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving school districts and local entities. The scope of work ranges from simple plant purchase with delivery to comprehensive multi-year landscape design, installation, and maintenance contracts requiring vendor licensing, horticultural expertise, and sustained performance obligations. Vendors typically must supply plant material meeting specified quality standards, deliver items in new and unopened condition, and in some cases maintain irrigation systems and replace failed plants at no cost to the procuring entity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and New Mexico. Los Alamos County in New Mexico posted RFP26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across multiple town streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, weighted evaluation criteria including qualifications (35 points) and design solution (35 points), and New Mexico resident and local-preference certifications available to qualifying offerors. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS 215260) on January 28, 2026 for plant purchase with a February 3, 2026 response date, requiring FOB delivery to a Dallas facility with all freight costs included and one-year warranty from acceptance. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, a Texas education service center, solicited catalog discount bids on educational activities and supplies (EDACT2628) with a July 30, 2026 deadline and a two-year estimated expenditure of $40.677 billion, though the scope appears misaligned with fresh-cut flowers specifically.
