UNSPSC 10151910: Marigold seed or seedlings

Asteraceae family plant seed

UNSPSC 10151910 Marigold seed or seedlings is a Commodity code covering seed supply procurements by state and local agencies. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code diverge sharply from the nominal scope: three of four recent solicitations concern native prairie seed species (Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, Purple Prairie Clover) and wildflower seed inventories (cream gentian), not marigolds. The actual work being bought consists of blanket-contract seed supply for habitat restoration, conservation land management, and environmental stewardship programs. Orders are placed on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimums; seeds must meet viability and purity standards and arrive within fourteen working days of placement, typically to regional offices or designated delivery locations. Vendors quote unit prices on a Free on Board destination basis with all shipping and handling included, and contracts often include annual renewal options with price escalation tied to the Producer Price Index.

State agencies and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department appears twice in recent activity, soliciting blanket contracts for native prairie seed species with contract terms running one year with twelve-month renewal options (IFBs 8022777954 and 8022777954R, due dates August 12 and September 15, 2026); Texas A&M Forest Service issued IFB-27-005 for East Texas Seeds on October 15, 2026, due October 30. Dane County, Wisconsin, in conjunction with Mattoon Village, conducted a surplus seed-sale procurement for cream gentian on May 11, 2026 (due June 2), and DeKalb County, Georgia, posted an unrelated ITB for tennis-center reconstruction that does not reflect seed procurement activity. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Wisconsin; the code shows limited demonstrated activity outside those jurisdictions and does not align consistently with the marigold seed taxonomy name.
