UNSPSC 10151517: Spinach seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151517 Spinach seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code covering agricultural seeds supplied to state and local government operations. The recent record shows state procurement bodies sourcing vegetable and edible crop seeds for institutional use, though the posted opportunities diverge from spinach specifically—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited green bean seeds, fall vegetable seed crops, and spring seeds through multiple IFBs in 2026. These seeds support TDCJ facility operations, likely for inmate food production or landscaping programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments; no counties, cities, school districts, or other municipal entities appear in the recent activity.

Activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the dominant buyer, issuing four separate seed solicitations since January 2026 (IW239915 for spring seeds due January 22, 2026; IW252545 for fall vegetable seeds due June 9, 2026; IW251789 for green bean seeds due June 18, 2026; and a duplicate IW252545 posting on June 9, 2026). All TDCJ solicitations require electronic submission through the Bonfire Hub procurement portal and F.O.B. destination pricing with freight prepaid. The single non-seed opportunity in the record—DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for tennis center IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction due July 13, 2026—is unrelated to the code's scope and appears to be a mistagging. No estimated contract values, quantities, or incumbent vendors are disclosed in the available solicitation notices.
