UNSPSC 10151537: Asparagus seeds or seedlings

Seed of herb plant of the liliaceous plant

UNSPSC 10151537 Asparagus seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure vegetable seeds for operational use, though recent activity under this code shows procurement of various edible crop seeds rather than asparagus specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the primary recent buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for spring seeds, fall vegetable seed crops, and green bean seeds to support institutional agricultural operations. These procurements require new and unused seeds delivered to TDCJ facilities, with vendors submitting sealed bids priced F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid. Bidders 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 law compliance and restrictions on entities doing business with designated foreign countries or boycotting Israel. Evaluation criteria center on low line item pricing and total line item costs, with TDCJ retaining discretion to reject any or all bid items. Payment terms run thirty days after invoice receipt or goods delivery, with potential electronic funds transfer.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ has posted at least four seed procurements since January 2026, including IFB IW239915 for spring seeds (due January 22, 2026), IFB IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds (due June 9, 2026), and IFB IW251789 for green bean seeds (due June 18, 2026). All TDCJ solicitations route through the Bonfire Hub procurement portal and require vendor registration through Euna Procurement. The source also includes one unrelated Georgia county opportunity (DeKalb County ITB for tennis center IT infrastructure) that appears mistagged to this seed code. Apart from the TDCJ activity, the code shows no recent state or local opportunities from other jurisdictions or issuing bodies.
