UNSPSC 10151707: Reed seed or cutting

Reed seed or Gynerium sagittatum is an herbaceous plant species belonging to the family of grasses. It is native to America.

UNSPSC 10151707 Reed seed or cutting is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of agricultural seeds, including native wildflower seed blends, surplus specialty seeds, and commodity crop seeds for state and local government operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation and correctional departments, county governments, and municipal park authorities. Work ranges from large-scale wildflower seed procurement for highway vegetation management and landscape restoration to specialty seed sales from county agricultural programs and seeds for correctional-industry farm operations. Issuing bodies typically specify seed composition, purity standards, germination rates, and delivery requirements, with evaluation focused on price, vendor responsiveness to specifications, and ability to meet delivery deadlines and payment terms.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Waco District issued an IFB on April 14, 2026, for 2,700 pounds of native wildflower seed mix containing twenty specified plant species, with bids due March 27, 2026, and contract award anticipated for April 3, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries (GCI) solicited cotton seed in March 2026 (due March 26, 2026), awarding the contract to Triangle Chemical Company at $57,994.00. Dane County, Wisconsin, conducted a surplus seed sale for cream gentian seeds with an RFB posted May 11, 2026, and due June 2, 2026, requiring bidders to review comprehensive seed-quality analysis reports from the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association documenting purity and germination rates. A fourth opportunity posted June 9, 2026—DeKalb County's ITB for tennis center reconstruction—appears unrelated to seed procurement and shows tag misalignment; the actual seed-procurement activity concentrates in highway and parks vegetation management, agricultural surpluses, and correctional-facility farm operations.
