UNSPSC 10151514: Melon seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151514 Melon seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying vegetable and crop seeds for operational use, including green beans, fall edible crop seeds, and spring seeds. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) dominates recent activity under this code, issuing multiple IFBs for seed procurement to support correctional facilities' agricultural operations. Seed solicitations specify delivery to operational facilities, F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid, and require vendors to hold valid Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers prior to contract award. Evaluation focuses on low line item pricing and total costs, with TDCJ reserving discretion to reject any or all bid items. Vendors must comply with E-Verify participation, non-debarment certification, antitrust compliance, and restrictions on doing business with designated foreign entities or those boycotting Israel. Payment terms run thirty days after invoice receipt, goods receipt, or service completion, with potential for electronic funds transfer.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, where TDCJ has posted multiple seed solicitations since January 2026. Representative opportunities include TDCJ IFB IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds with a June 9, 2026 response deadline, TDCJ IFB IW251789 for green bean seeds due June 18, 2026, and TDCJ IFB IW239915 for spring seeds posted January 22, 2026. All submissions are made electronically through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub, with vendor registration required through the Euna Procurement website. The solicitation documents do not specify quantities, delivery schedules, contract terms, or estimated values. Technical support for portal access is available through Euna Procurement Support; procurement inquiries should be directed to TDCJ contacts including Catherine Cain and Carolyn Dahlen.
