UNSPSC 10151538: Chickpea seeds or seedlings

Seed of herb plant of the leguminous plant

UNSPSC 10151538 Chickpea seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of agricultural seeds for institutional food service and crop production operations. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring edible crop seeds—including chickpeas, green beans, fall vegetables, and related varieties—for use in correctional facilities, agricultural programs, and related institutional operations. The issuing bodies identified in recent activity are state correctional departments and county facilities management offices soliciting seeds through formal competitive procurement vehicles. Scope spans seed variety specification, quality standards, delivery scheduling, and purchase-order establishment with agricultural suppliers.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates recent solicitation activity under this code, posting multiple IFBs for fall edible crop seeds and green bean seeds in May and June 2026. Representative opportunities include IFB IW252545 (Fall Vegetable Seed Crop, posted May 20, 2026, bid due June 9, 2026) and IFB IW251789 (Green Bean Seeds, posted June 18, 2026, bid due June 18, 2026), both managed through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub. A separate DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for tennis center reconstruction (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026) appears misclassified under this code—the scope is IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, not seed procurement, and represents an outlier unrelated to the category's nominal focus. Texas shows the primary recent activity; no other states appear in the current opportunity block. Specification documents and detailed procurement terms are accessible through the TDCJ portal; vendors must register through Euna Procurement to bid.
