UNSPSC 10151705: Crown vetch seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151705 Crown vetch seeds or seedlings, a Commodity code, covers native prairie seed procurement and related native planting material that state and local governments source for land conservation, habitat restoration, and parks management. State and local buyers under this code purchase packaged seeds in specified species and quantities, typically from regional suppliers, with delivery to designated offices or project sites. Recent solicitations show state environmental and natural resource agencies—primarily Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas A&M Forest Service—issuing blanket contracts and competitive bids for annual or multi-year supplies of native prairie grasses and forbs, with orders placed on an as-needed basis. Typical scope includes primary species such as Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, and Purple Prairie Clover in annual usage ranging from 1 to 200 pounds per species, packaged in bags not exceeding fifty pounds and delivered within fourteen working days of order placement. Unit pricing is quoted on a free-on-board destination basis with all shipping, handling, and fuel surcharges included, and contracts often permit price escalation upon renewal subject to Producer Price Index correlations.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas A&M Forest Service dominate recent activity under this code. The most recent opportunities include Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's native prairie seeds blanket contract (IFB 8022777954R, due September 15, 2026) covering thirty-nine primary grass and forb line items with a one-year term through August 31, 2027 and a twelve-month renewal option, and Texas A&M Forest Service's East Texas Seeds bid (IFB27005, due October 30, 2026), with full scope details withheld in the solicitation summary. An earlier Texas Parks and Wildlife opportunity (IFB 8022777954, due August 12, 2026) listed fifty native grass and forb species. A separate Dane County, Wisconsin surplus seed sale (RFB 2026RFB043PR, due June 2, 2026) covered cream gentian seeds, showing limited geographic diversification beyond Texas. State and local procurement under this code concentrates in Texas, with sporadic activity in Wisconsin and other regions; no dollar values, incumbent vendors, or set-aside designations appear in the available records.
