UNSPSC 10151812: Mushroom seeds or seedlings

Seed belonging to the agaricaceae family

UNSPSC 10151812 Mushroom seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations under this designation show minimal alignment with mushroom cultivation—instead, they reflect procurement of vegetable and edible crop seeds for institutional food service and agricultural operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has posted multiple IFBs for green bean seeds and fall vegetable seed crops to support inmate nutrition and farm operations at correctional facilities. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that mushroom-specific seed procurement does not occur at scale in the jurisdictions tracked.

The recent activity concentrates almost entirely in Texas, with TDCJ issuing the only substantive solicitations in the available record. TDCJ posted IFB IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds with a response date of June 9, 2026, and IFB IW251789 for green bean seeds due June 18, 2026; both require electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform and carry no published contract value, term, or quantity specifications in the public notices. A single unrelated opportunity—DeKalb County's ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction at a tennis center—appears incorrectly tagged under this code. State and local procurement volume under this code appears negligible, and the seed buying that does occur does not match the code's mushroom designation.
