UNSPSC 10150000: Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings

UNSPSC 10150000 Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings is a Family code encompassing the procurement of seeds, bulbs, seedlings, and propagated plant material for grounds maintenance, habitat restoration, and infrastructure projects across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy seeds and seedlings under this code to establish turf on roadsides and parks, restore native plant communities in wildlife management areas, control erosion on landfill slopes and construction sites, and support wildflower and landscape plantings at municipal facilities. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning state natural resource agencies, county boards of commissioners, municipal parks and public works departments, transit authorities, and county or regional flood control districts. Texas A&M Forest Service, the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Fort Worth, Harris County Flood Control District, and the Forest Preserve District of Kane County have posted solicitations under this code in the past two months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Utah, Florida, and California, with secondary activity across Connecticut, New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's ITB 268696 for sod supply, delivery, and installation services across roadway rights-of-way, medians, parks, and athletic fields (bids due November 9, 2026); the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' IFB JH27-124 for custom propagation of 10,000 native shrub seedlings in plugs with mesh for three Wildlife Management Areas in Cache and Weber Counties (bids due October 22, 2026); the Forest Preserve District of Kane County's seed bid for individually bagged seed ecotypes originating within 200 miles of Kane County (bids due August 11, 2026); and the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0250 for grounds maintenance and irrigation services including response to emergency maintenance requests within 48 hours (proposals due September 24, 2026). Most solicitations award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on unit-price or lump-sum bases, with contract terms typically ranging from one to three years with renewal options. Collier County historically spends approximately $1.275 million annually on sod services, and the City of Fort Worth anticipates $800,000 in annual spend across all irrigation and grounds maintenance vendors.
