UNSPSC 10151520: Chard seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151520 Chard seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code covering seed procurement for vegetable production, though the recent state and local opportunities tracked under it actually consist of requests for edible crop seeds—including green bean and fall vegetable varieties—rather than chard specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the dominant issuing body for this code, using it to source seeds for inmate agricultural programs and facility operations. Solicitations are issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform, with electronic submission mandatory and vendor pre-registration required through the Euna Procurement website. The source does not specify contract values, quantities, delivery schedules, or pricing terms for individual solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ posted multiple seed procurements in May and June 2026: IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds (due June 9, 2026) and IW251789 for green bean seeds (due June 18, 2026). The code shows limited geographic breadth and issuing-body diversity in available records; no school districts, county purchasing offices, municipalities, or other state and local bodies appear in the recent opportunity sample. Vendors responding to TDCJ seed solicitations should direct procurement inquiries to Catherine Cain or Carolyn Dahlen at the procurement contacts listed and consult the specification documents on the TDCJ portal for seed types, quality standards, and facility-specific delivery requirements. The repeated use of the Bonfire Hub platform and Euna Procurement as the submission channel indicates that portal compliance and advance registration are prerequisites for participation.
