UNSPSC 10151910: Marigold seed or seedlings

Asteraceae family plant seed

UNSPSC 10151910 Marigold seed or seedlings is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of seed stock, including wildflower and native plant seed mixes, surplus seed inventory, and agricultural seed supplies for landscaping, ecological restoration, and farm operations. The code sees activity from diverse issuing bodies — state transportation departments, county agricultural extension programs, correctional industries, and municipal parks and recreation divisions — reflecting broad use across environmental, horticultural, and operational functions. Recent solicitations show purchases ranging from specialty seed blends for highway district wildflower plantings to surplus seed sales and agricultural seed procurement, with vendors evaluated primarily on price, ability to meet botanical specifications (purity, germination rates, species composition), and compliance with delivery and documentation requirements.

Activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent procurement from Texas (TxDOT Waco District seeking 2,700 pounds of native wildflower seed mix via IFB 601310000100853, due March 27, 2026), Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries purchasing cotton seed via RFQ GCI0001091, awarded to Triangle Chemical Company at $57,994.00 on March 31, 2026), and Wisconsin (Dane County and Mattoon Village conducting a surplus seed sale for cream gentian via RFB 2026RFB043PR, due June 2, 2026). The TxDOT solicitation is representative of highway district seeding programs and permits substitution of alternative species when specified varieties are short. The Georgia Correctional Industries award demonstrates active procurement from state agricultural operations with F.O.B. destination delivery and NET 30 payment terms. Geographic spread extends beyond these three states, but the source identifies no additional recent opportunities with sufficient detail to characterize the broader regional distribution.
