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, a Commodity code, covers native seed supply to state and local land management and conservation agencies — primarily blanket purchase contracts for native prairie grasses, wildflowers, and forbs used in habitat restoration and park maintenance. State and local governments buy seeds by species and quantity under these contracts, with delivery tied to ecological restoration timelines and specifications around viability, purity, and germination rates. The issuing bodies are chiefly state conservation and wildlife departments, county parks and land stewardship programs, and regional office hubs handling multiple delivery sites.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas A&M Forest Service dominate recent activity under this code, having posted two separate IFBs for native prairie seed blanket contracts in the past two months — one in August and another in September 2026, each covering forty to fifty native species (Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, Purple Prairie Clover, and forb species) with anticipated annual usage ranging from 1 to 200 pounds per species and fourteen-day delivery windows to regional offices. Dane County, Wisconsin, issued a separate RFB in May 2026 to sell off surplus cream gentian seed inventory tested by the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association. Texas A&M Forest Service posted an IFB on October 15, 2026 for East Texas Seeds with proposals due October 30, 2026, though the scope details remain in the complete IFB package not disclosed in the summary. Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Wisconsin; evaluation criteria across recent solicitations emphasize lowest price, ability and qualifications, delivery schedules, past performance, and life cycle costs, with FOB-destination pricing and Producer Price Index escalation clauses common in renewal terms.
