UNSPSC 10151614: Rice seeds or seedlings

Seed produced from the rice plant.

UNSPSC 10151614 Rice seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of agricultural seed stock, though recent state and local activity shows minimal rice-specific purchasing and a broader mix of field-crop seed varieties actually being solicited. State and local governments use this code to source seeds for maintained grounds, farm operations at correctional facilities, and municipal landscape management. The issuing bodies include cities, state correctional departments, and county agricultural operations. Recent solicitations reflect procurement of wheat grass seed, sorghum sudan grass seed, soybean seed, and cotton seed — commodity seeds for landscaping, erosion control, and farm production rather than rice seed specifically. Cities and state correctional industries emerge as repeat buyers in the available records.

The City of Lubbock, Texas, has posted multiple recent RFQs including Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS (due July 16, 2026), and Sorghum Sudan Grass Seed (45,000 pounds, minimum 85% germination, due April 1, 2026). The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Corrections issued an RFB for soybean seed varieties (500 bags each of three Pioneer cultivars) for the Western Kentucky Correctional Complex Farm (due March 13, 2026) with a Master Agreement structure and reciprocal Kentucky resident preferences worth 20 percent of maximum points. Georgia Correctional Industries procured cotton seed (awarded to Triangle Chemical Company at $57,994.00 on March 31, 2026, for delivery to Rogers Farm Service in Reidsville, Georgia). Activity concentrates in Texas and Kentucky, with Georgia also present. The code shows no recent rice-specific opportunities; state and local procurement under this code tier emphasizes turf, forage, and field-crop seeds for operational use rather than rice cultivation.
