UNSPSC 10151612: Kiwicha seeds or seedlings

Seed of the plant from the amarantacea family of quick growing.

UNSPSC 10151612 Kiwicha seeds or seedlings is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers native prairie seed mixes and grass seed species for habitat restoration and grounds maintenance. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has posted three separate RFP notices in October 2026 for prairie seed mixes destined for public housing authority properties in Ford County, Champaign County, and the Sibley Prairie Habitat Area. Each solicitation specifies mixed native species including warm-season grasses (Canada wildrye, Little Bluestem, Sideoats grama), legumes, and wildflowers with defined seeding rates in pounds per acre of Pure Live Seed. One Illinois DNR solicitation (27422DNRRESCOB54344 for Sibley PHA) carries an estimated contract value of $43,399. Beyond prairie seed, the City of Lubbock, Texas posted two separate RFQ notices in July 2026 for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS with minimal specification detail in the available summaries. The code sees issuing activity from state environmental agencies and municipal grounds-maintenance purchasers, though the recent-opportunity set is dominated by Illinois DNR. One additional opportunity tagged to this code—DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure—appears unrelated to seed procurement and does not represent typical activity under the code.

Activity under this code concentrates in Illinois and Texas, with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as a notable repeat buyer across three nearly simultaneous solicitations for the Purdueville and Sibley habitat projects. All three Illinois DNR notices carry response deadlines of October 8, 2026 and invoke the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for General Services, requiring prevailing wage compliance where applicable, $1 million per occurrence general commercial liability insurance, three-year record retention (five years if federal funds are used), and state ownership of all work product. The Texas opportunities from Lubbock are characteristically spare in their source descriptions and provide no contract values or specifications beyond seed variety names. Overall procurement velocity under this code appears modest in the recent window, with five relevant opportunities posted between July and October 2026, concentrated in two states and dominated by a single state agency's multi-lot prairie-restoration initiative.
