UNSPSC 10151913: Isabelita or dogbane seed or seedlings

Apocynaceae family plant seeds

UNSPSC 10151913 Isabelita or dogbane seed or seedlings is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure native and specialty seed inventory for habitat restoration, wildlife management, and land stewardship programs. Recent solicitations show procurement of native prairie seed species (Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Switchgrass, Indian Grass, Purple Prairie Clover, and forbs) in quantities ranging from 1 to 200 pounds annually, packaged in bags not exceeding fifty pounds and delivered on an as-needed basis. The issuing bodies are predominantly state natural-resource and wildlife agencies. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has posted multiple invitations for bid for blanket native prairie seed contracts, and Texas A&M Forest Service has solicited seeds under IFB. Dane County, Wisconsin, in conjunction with Mattoon Village, has conducted a surplus seed sale for cream gentian (Gentiana flavida), a specialty forb species.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, where the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued IFB 8022777954R (bids due September 15, 2026) and IFB 8022777954 (bids due August 12, 2026) for native prairie seed blanket contracts covering fifty species with fourteen-working-day delivery to the TPWD Tyler Regional Office; unit pricing must include all shipping and tariffs on an FOB destination basis, with price escalation permitted upon renewal if correlated to the Producer Price Index. Texas A&M Forest Service posted IFB-27-005 for East Texas Seeds with a response deadline of October 30, 2026, though the scope of goods and quantities are not disclosed in available documents. Wisconsin procurement for specialty seed appears episodic; Dane County's cream gentian surplus seed sale (RFB 2026RFB043PR, due June 2, 2026) involved eight pre-tested seed lots with published germination rates and purity results from the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association laboratory. One unrelated solicitation (DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure reconstruction) appears miscoded to this seed category and should be disregarded.
