UNSPSC 10151539: Fava or broad bean seeds or seedlings

Seed of the annual herb climbing plant of the fabacea family

UNSPSC 10151539 Fava or broad bean seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that covers seed procurement for edible crop production, though recent state and local solicitations under this code tag show activity in broader vegetable and legume seed supply rather than fava or broad bean seeds specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple IFBs for spring seeds, fall vegetable seeds, and green bean seeds to support operations at correctional facilities. Work under the code involves supplying new, unused seed varieties in specified quantities, with vendors responsible for meeting delivery schedules, quality standards, and compliance with state procurement and regulatory requirements including E-Verify participation, non-debarment certification, and adherence to antitrust laws. Issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments; TDCJ is the dominant repeat buyer in the recent opportunity set, posting at least four seed procurements between January and June 2026. One unrelated opportunity (DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure rebuild, ITB 2026-076-ITB) was tagged under this code but does not reflect actual activity in seed procurement.

All recent seed procurement activity is concentrated in Texas, with TDCJ posting solicitations for spring seeds (IFB IW239915, due January 22, 2026), fall vegetable seed crop (IFB IW252545, due June 9, 2026), and green bean seeds (IW251789, due June 18, 2026). Submissions are made electronically through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub; vendors must register through Euna Procurement and provide unit pricing on specified forms with F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid terms. Payment terms run thirty days after invoice receipt or goods receipt. Bid firm periods typically extend thirty days following opening. Specific contract values, quantities, and delivery schedules are not disclosed in the available procurement notices; vendors must consult the complete solicitation documents and specification sheets posted on the TDCJ portal for detailed requirements and evaluation criteria.
