UNSPSC 10151907: Vetch seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10151907 Vetch seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of native and specialty grass and forb seeds for habitat restoration, land management, and ecological preservation by state natural-resource agencies. State and local governments buy seeds under this code for prairie restoration, wildlife habitat management, and conservation projects, typically procured through blanket contracts with annual terms, as-needed ordering, and unit pricing on a free-on-board-destination basis that includes all shipping and handling. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies include state natural-resource departments and county agencies with conservation or land-management mandates, with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department appearing as a repeat buyer in the recent activity block.

Texas dominates the recent activity for this code. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued two consecutive blanket IFB solicitations for native prairie seeds in August and September 2026, covering fifty primary grass species (Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, Lovegrass) and forb species (Purple Prairie Clover, Maximillian Sunflower, Illinois Bundleflower, and wildflower varieties) with anticipated annual usage ranging from one to two hundred pounds per species, fourteen-working-day delivery windows to the TPWD Tyler Regional Office, and pricing escalation permitted upon renewal with correlation to the Producer Price Index; both solicitations allowed for single or multiple awards based on best-value evaluation including lowest price, ability and qualifications, delivery schedule, past performance, and life cycle costs. The Texas A&M Forest Service issued IFB-27-005 for East Texas Seeds with bids due October 30, 2026, though the specific scope is not disclosed in available materials. A Wisconsin county procurement for cream gentian seeds posted May 11, 2026, with bids due June 2, 2026, demonstrates secondary activity outside Texas, though the source shows no representation from other states in the current opportunity block.
