UNSPSC 10151916: Canola seed or seedlings

Canola plant seed of the brassicaceae family, with bright yellow flowers

UNSPSC 10151916 Canola seed or seedlings is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities posted under this code show significant misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited—the data includes a tennis center IT infrastructure reconstruction project unrelated to any seed procurement, alongside legitimate but non-canola seed opportunities: a cream gentian (Gentiana flavida) surplus seed sale from Dane County, Wisconsin; a native wildflower seed mix procurement from TxDOT's Waco District in Texas; a cotton seed solicitation from Georgia Correctional Industries; and a miscellaneous flowering plants and greenhouse foliage procurement from Salt Lake City Corporation. State and local buyers posting under this code are acquiring seed inventory for agricultural operations, highway beautification and erosion control, correctional farm services, and municipal horticultural programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (TxDOT), state correctional enterprises (Georgia Correctional Industries), counties (Dane County), cities (Salt Lake City), and special-purpose district operations (TxDOT highway maintenance). Seed procurements under this code target both wholesale bulk inventory purchases and smaller operational requirements for landscaping and grounds maintenance.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Utah. TxDOT's Waco District solicited 2,700 pounds of native wildflower seed blend in twenty specified species on an IFB closing March 27, 2026, with award anticipated April 3, 2026; Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for cotton seed on March 19, 2026, due March 26, 2026, resulting in Triangle Chemical Company's award at $57,994.00; Dane County and Mattoon Village conducted a surplus seed sale RFB for cream gentian seeds posted May 11, 2026, due June 2, 2026, with quality analysis documentation from the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association; and Salt Lake City Corporation requested miscellaneous flowering plants and foliage for Jordan Park Greenhouse on an RFB posted January 20, 2026, due January 27, 2026. The code's activity remains modest and geographically scattered across the states shown, with no dominant repeat buyer evident and procurement quantities ranging from hundreds of pounds (TxDOT) to smaller nursery stock orders (Salt Lake City).
