UNSPSC 10151617: Sugar cane seed or cutting

Sugarcane is a tropical grass that requires a large amount of water to grow. It is a giant grass related to sorghum and maize. It has a solid stem 2-5 feet high with 5 or 6 cm. in diameter

UNSPSC 10151617 Sugar cane seed or cutting is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure seeds and cuttings for agricultural operations, though the recent opportunities in the source show mixed scope alignment — the code captures authentic seed procurement for crops including soybean, cotton, and various grass varieties, but also captures unrelated infrastructure work that does not match the code's nominal scope. State and local buyers under this code include correctional departments operating farm operations, city procurement offices sourcing seeds for municipal or public grounds maintenance, and state departments of corrections. Georgia Correctional Industries and the City of Lubbock, Texas appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with a secondary presence in Kentucky. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' March 2026 RFQ for cotton seed (solicitation 92100GCI0001091), which closed March 26, 2026 and resulted in a Notice of Award to Triangle Chemical Company for $57,994.00; the City of Lubbock's March 2026 RFQ for 45,000 pounds of sorghum sudan grass seed (QQ2619537SRSORGHUMSUDANGRASSSEED), due April 1, 2026, specifying 85% minimum germination and F.O.B. Destination delivery by April 16, 2026; and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet's March 2026 RFB for soybean seed for Western Kentucky Correctional Complex Farm (RFB75826000004212), due March 13, 2026, seeking 500 bags each of three Pioneer varieties under a Master Agreement structure with Kentucky resident preference and set-asides for Kentucky Correctional Industries and qualified nonprofit agencies. The source also includes two additional Lubbock wheat seed quotes (Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS, both due July 16, 2026) and one unrelated DeKalb County IT infrastructure bid that appears mistagged to this code.
