UNSPSC 10151702: Clover seeds or seedling

UNSPSC 10151702 Clover seeds or seedling is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of native prairie seed mixes and grass seeds for habitat restoration, public land management, and municipal landscaping projects. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through Illinois Department of Natural Resources solicitations for prairie habitat establishment and restoration at public housing authorities, and through municipal procurement for grounds maintenance seed stock. The work involves supplying seed mixes with specified botanical compositions, germination rates, and purity percentages, often calculated and priced on a per-pound or per-ounce basis of pure live seed. Vendors must provide seed in compliance with state agricultural standards, maintain specified insurance coverage, and comply with prevailing wage requirements where applicable.

Recent activity is concentrated in Illinois, where the Illinois Department of Natural Resources posted three RFPs in October 2026 for prairie seed mixes serving the Purdueville Public Housing Authority in Ford County and Champaign County and the Sibley Prairie Habitat Area project, all with response dates of October 8, 2026. The Sibley PHA contract carries an estimated value of $43,399. The City of Lubbock, Texas solicited quotes for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS in July 2026 with a due date of July 16, 2026, though minimal scope detail is available for those opportunities. Illinois contracts are governed by the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for General Services, impose a $1 million per occurrence / $2 million annual aggregate general commercial liability insurance requirement, require worker's compensation insurance, mandate three-year record retention (five years if federal funds are used), and reserve state ownership of all work product and intellectual property.
