UNSPSC 10151509: Endive seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151509 Endive seeds or seedlings (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple seed-procurement solicitations under this code and related seed categories — including spring seeds (IFB IW239915, January 2026), fall vegetable seeds (IFB IW252545, May–June 2026), and green bean seeds (IFB IW251789, June 2026) — but these represent general edible crop and vegetable seed procurement for institutional food service and landscaping operations, not endive-specific sourcing. The issuing body across all recent opportunities is a single state agency: TDCJ. The work itself involves sealed bids for new, unused seed stock delivered to TDCJ facilities, with unit pricing quoted F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid; bidders must hold a valid Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number, certify E-Verify participation and non-debarment status, and comply with antitrust and foreign-entity restrictions. Payment terms run thirty days after invoice, goods receipt, or service completion.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with all four recent opportunities originating from TDCJ headquarters in Huntsville. Bids are submitted electronically through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub, with registration through Euna Procurement required. The most recent posting — green bean seeds (IW251789) and fall vegetable seeds (IW252545) — both closed June 9 or 18, 2026, with procurement contacts Catherine Cain and Carolyn Dahlen at TDCJ. One unrelated opportunity (DeKalb County, Georgia, ITB 2026-076 for tennis center IT infrastructure, due July 13, 2026) appears mistagged under this code and carries no relevance to seed procurement. The code shows no activity outside Texas in the recent-opportunities block, and TDCJ's seed solicitations do not isolate endive varieties — they aggregate multiple fall and spring seed types into single bids without line-item visibility to subspecific crops.
