UNSPSC 10317004: Fresh cut sunbright sunflower

Fresh cut bloom of the sunbright variety of sunflowers

UNSPSC 10317004 Fresh cut sunbright sunflower, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase of fresh cut flowers and floral materials by state and local governments, most visibly through educational supply cooperatives, municipal beautification programs, and general plant procurement for parks and public facilities. The code reflects a narrow product line — specifically fresh-cut sunflowers and related ornamental plant materials — rather than broader horticultural goods. Issuing bodies include regional education service centers operating cooperative purchasing vehicles that serve multiple school districts, counties managing parks and public spaces, and cities procuring plants and flowers for municipal landscaping and maintenance. The activity shows limited recent volume relative to broader commodity categories; the few posted opportunities reflect episodic demand rather than sustained procurement pipelines.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and New Mexico. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a catalog discount bid solicitation (EDACT2628, due July 30, 2026) for educational activities and supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, with estimated expenditures of $40.677 billion over two years, though this broad solicitation spans educational products well beyond fresh flowers alone and appears misaligned with the Commodity code's narrow scope. Los Alamos County, New Mexico issued an RFP for hanging flower baskets and maintenance (RFP2655, due June 4, 2026), requiring contractor installation and seasonal care of up to 144 baskets; the City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation for plants (IFS 215260, due February 3, 2026, now closed). DeKalb County, Georgia's recent ITB for tennis center reconstruction (2026-076-ITB, due July 13, 2026) addresses IT infrastructure and is unrelated to the code's scope. The concentration of actual fresh-flower purchasing under this code is minimal in current state and local procurement activity.
