UNSPSC 10151513: Corn seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151513 Corn seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader range of edible crop seeds than the nominal code name suggests — including green beans, fall vegetables, and spring seeds for institutional agricultural operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple IFBs for seed procurement to support operational planting and food production at its facilities. These solicitations seek sealed bids for new, unused seeds delivered F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid, evaluated on low line item pricing and total line item cost. Vendors must hold valid Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers, comply with E-Verify participation and non-debarment certification, and meet state and federal regulatory requirements including antitrust and foreign entity boycott restrictions. Payment terms run thirty days after invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion.

Recent activity concentrates entirely in Texas, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as the sole issuing body in the available opportunity set. Representative solicitations include IFB IW252545 for Fall Vegetable Seed Crop (due June 9, 2026), IFB IW251789 for Green Bean Seeds (due June 18, 2026), and IFB IW239915 for Spring Seeds (due January 22, 2026). All TDCJ solicitations direct vendors to register and submit electronically through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub, with procurement contacts and technical support listed in each notice. The solicitation documents do not disclose quantities required, delivery schedules, estimated values, contract terms, or specific seed varieties and quality standards in the posted notices — vendors must consult attached specification documents and TDCJ Standard Terms and Conditions available on the procurement portal.
