UNSPSC 10151609: Maize seeds

UNSPSC 10151609 Maize seeds is a Commodity code covering agricultural seed procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities block shows activity in closely related seed varieties rather than maize specifically. State and local governments use this code family to procure field crop seeds, including wheat, sorghum, soybean, and cotton seed for correctional facilities, municipal grounds maintenance, and agricultural operations. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, city procurement offices, and county agencies. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, the City of Lubbock, DeKalb County, and Georgia Correctional Industries have posted opportunities in this category in recent months, with correctional farm operations and municipal landscaping representing significant use cases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Kentucky. The City of Lubbock issued two RFQs for wheat and sorghum grass seed in March and July 2026 with response dates of April 1 and July 16 respectively, seeking specific germination rates and bulk bag delivery. The Commonwealth of Kentucky posted RFB 758 2600000421 on March 3, 2026, for 500 bags each of three soybean seed varieties (Pioneer P37Z06E, P48A14E, and P41Z16E) for Western Kentucky Correctional Complex Farm, with bids due March 13, 2026, and a master agreement structure offering optional two-year renewal periods and Kentucky resident preferences of 20 and 15 percent. Georgia Correctional Industries issued a cotton seed RFQ in March 2026 and awarded Triangle Chemical Company a contract at $57,994.00 on March 31, 2026. Delivery is consistently F.O.B.
