UNSPSC 10151607: Linseed seeds

UNSPSC 10151607 Linseed seeds is a Commodity code that encompasses native prairie seed mixes and grass seeds sourced by state and local agencies for habitat restoration, public housing authority grounds management, and municipal landscaping projects. State and local buyers under this code include state natural resources departments, public housing authorities, and cities; the Illinois Department of Natural Resources emerges as a standout repeat buyer with multiple prairie seed mix solicitations posted in October 2026. The work involves supply of specified native seed species — warm-season grasses such as Canada wildrye, Little Bluestem, and Sideoats grama, along with native forbs and wildflowers including milkweed, asters, and coneflowers — calculated and priced on a per-pound and per-ounce basis of Pure Live Seed (PLS). Vendors must comply with Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for General Services, including prevailing wage requirements where applicable, insurance requirements (general commercial liability of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million annual aggregate and workers' compensation), three-year record retention, and prior written approval for subcontractors.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Texas. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources posted three prairie seed mix solicitations for the Purdueville Public Housing Authority (Ford County and Champaign County) and the Sibley Prairie Habitat Area on October 1, 2026, all with response deadlines of October 8, 2026; the Sibley PHA contract carried an estimated value of $43,399 and specifies 70 acres with 27 native species. The City of Lubbock posted requests for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS on July 2, 2026, with quote deadlines July 16, 2026. One additional DeKalb County, Georgia opportunity posted in June 2026 (DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction) carries the code tag but addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation, not seed supply, and represents a misclassification unrelated to the code's nominal scope.
