UNSPSC 10151708: Pasture seeds

Plant high-quality food crops for grazing pasture animals. Pasture Grasses can be used to feed livestock in-season, and when harvested and stored as green silage and hay. Use these high-quality, non-GMO feed seeds in your rotational grazing plans, or as ground covers on unused fields.

UNSPSC 10151708 Pasture seeds, a Commodity code, encompasses grass and legume seeds used for turf maintenance and pasture establishment by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments procure these seeds for parks, recreational facilities, correctional farm operations, and municipal grounds maintenance. The issuing-body mix includes cities, counties, state correctional departments, and special-purpose agricultural facilities. Solicitations typically request specific seed varieties with documented germination rates and purity standards, with delivery often required on an F.O.B. Destination basis and pricing structured for competitive bidding or quote-based award.
