UNSPSC 10317006: Fresh cut teddybear sunflower

Fresh cut bloom of the teddybear variety of sunflowers

UNSPSC 10317006 Fresh cut teddybear sunflower is a Commodity code that in practice covers ornamental flowering plants and related horticultural supplies procured by state and local governments for public landscaping, beautification, and grounds-maintenance programs. The scope of work under this code spans the supply and installation of cut flowers, potted flowering plants, hanging baskets, and associated plant materials used in parks, municipal right-of-way beautification, and public facilities maintenance. Issuing bodies are primarily cities and counties managing parks and public grounds, though regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts and education service centers also tag horticultural commodities under related codes in this family. Recent opportunities show city parks departments and county recreation divisions as the primary buyers, with Los Alamos County in New Mexico and the City of Dallas in Texas both conducting active procurements for flowering plants and hanging baskets.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and the Southwest, with the City of Dallas and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas (serving multiple school districts across the state) posting solicitations, and Los Alamos County, New Mexico conducting a multi-year RFP for hanging flower baskets. Representative recent opportunities include Los Alamos County's RFP 26-55 for design, installation, and maintenance of up to 144 hanging flower baskets across Central Avenue and multiple residential streets, with proposals due June 4, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward qualifications (35 points), design and maintenance solution (35 points), cost (20 points), and references (10 points); and the City of Dallas's Informal Solicitation 215260 for purchase of plants, with bids due February 3, 2026, FOB delivery to a Dallas facility, requiring new unopened inventory in original packaging with a one-year warranty from acceptance. The Los Alamos procurement offers local and New Mexico resident business preferences under county code, and vendors must hold a valid nursery dealer license issued by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture.
