UNSPSC 10151812: Mushroom seeds or seedlings

Seed belonging to the agaricaceae family

UNSPSC 10151812 Mushroom seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that in practice covers agricultural seed procurement for state and local operations—though recent activity shows the code is being applied to vegetable and field-crop seed purchases rather than mushroom cultivation. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are primarily correctional and institutional facilities purchasing seeds to support food production or landscaping operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the dominant issuing body in recent records, posting multiple seed procurement solicitations including green bean seeds (IFB IW251789, due June 18, 2026), fall vegetable seeds (IFB IW252545, due June 9, 2026), and spring seeds (IFB IW239915, due January 22, 2026). TDCJ solicitations specify that vendors must register through the Euna Procurement website and submit bids electronically via the TDCJ Procurement Portal on the Bonfire Hub platform. Bid evaluation criteria typically emphasize low line item pricing and total cost, with TDCJ reserving discretion to reject any or all items. Vendors must hold valid Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers and demonstrate E-Verify participation, non-debarment status, and compliance with antitrust and foreign-business restrictions before award.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, driven by TDCJ's recurring seasonal seed purchases. The source contains no recent opportunities from other states or issuing-body types—school districts, municipalities, or transit authorities—and no mushroom-specific seed solicitations appear in the recent record. One misdirected opportunity (DeKalb County's ITB for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at a tennis center) is plainly unrelated to seed procurement and appears to be a coding error in the source data. Prospective vendors should note that TDCJ seed contracts do not disclose estimated value, contract term, or quantities in the available solicitation summaries; detailed specifications are referenced in attached documents (such as 3-01.IW252545.pdf) that must be obtained through the procurement portal. Payment terms are net thirty days after invoice, goods receipt, or service completion.
