UNSPSC 10151901: Tulip seeds or bulbs or seedlings or cuttings

UNSPSC 10151901 Tulip seeds or bulbs or seedlings or cuttings is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of native and ornamental seeds — grounded in recent solicitations for native prairie seed blanket contracts, specialty seed inventory sales, and forestry seed acquisitions rather than tulips specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include regional natural-resource agencies and county governments managing habitat restoration, conservation, and grounds maintenance. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas A&M Forest Service dominate the recent activity, with conservation-focused blanket contracts for native grasses and forbs in quantities ranging from 1 to 200 pounds per species, packaged to protect viability during transit and deliverable on an as-needed basis without guaranteed minimums. Vendors must quote FOB destination with all shipping and fuel surcharges included and meet fourteen-working-day delivery windows to designated regional offices. Price escalation at renewal is permitted when tied to the Producer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with supplementary procurement in Wisconsin. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department posted two rounds of native prairie seed IFBs — Solicitation 8022777954 with responses due August 12, 2026, and Solicitation 8022777954R with responses due September 15, 2026 — both covering fifty native grass and forb species (Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, Purple Prairie Clover, and others) with contract terms from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, plus optional twelve-month renewal. Texas A&M Forest Service issued IFB27005 for East Texas Seeds with responses due October 30, 2026; detailed scope documents were not disclosed in the summary. Dane County, Wisconsin, and Mattoon Village conducted a surplus seed sale for cream gentian (Gentiana flavida) via RFB 2026RFB043PR with responses due June 2, 2026, selling eight seed lots with documented germination rates between 89 and 97 percent and purity ranging from 61.46 to 71.62 percent. TPWD evaluates bids on lowest price, ability and qualifications, delivery schedule, past performance, and life-cycle costs, with single or multiple award discretion reserved to the agency.
