UNSPSC 10151705: Crown vetch seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151705 Crown vetch seeds or seedlings (Commodity) encompasses native and specialty seed procurement for state and local infrastructure, agricultural, and landscaping projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing wildflower seed mixes for highway beautification and erosion control, surplus specialty seeds through competitive bidding, and agricultural seeds for institutional farming operations. The scope reflects practical seed sourcing for transportation departments, counties, and state agencies rather than the narrow commodity name alone — buyers are acquiring seed lots that have been tested for purity, germination rates, and noxious weed content, with delivery F.O.B. destination and specifications tied to geographic growing zones and project requirements.

Soliciting bodies include state transportation departments, counties, and state correctional or agricultural agencies. Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has posted activity under this code, as have Dane County, Wisconsin, and Georgia Correctional Industries. TxDOT's Waco District (Highway District 9) solicited 2,700 pounds of native wildflower seed mix containing twenty specified plant species (Black-Eyed Susan, Butterfly Milkweed, Prairie Coneflower, and others) for delivery to Waco, Texas, under IFB 601310000100853 with a bid closing of March 27, 2026. Dane County and Mattoon Village, Wisconsin, posted a surplus seed sale RFB for cream gentian seeds (2026RFB043PR) due June 2, 2026, with eight seed lots tested by the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association and documented for purity and germination specifications. Georgia Correctional Industries awarded cotton seed procurement to Triangle Chemical Company at $57,994.00 on March 31, 2026, following a March 26, 2026 bid deadline (solicitation GCI0001091). Recent activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin showing documented solicitations in the first half of 2026.
