UNSPSC 10151924: Carnation seed or seedling

Seed of herbaceous plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, widespread in the Mediterranean regions. Its flowers are showy.

UNSPSC 10151924 Carnation seed or seedling is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers seeds and seed inventory across diverse plant types — wildflower and native species mixes, agricultural commodity seeds, and specialty horticultural varieties. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, county governments, correctional agencies, and municipal departments. State and local buyers use this code to source seeds for roadside revegetation, agricultural operations, surplus inventory dispositions, and landscape projects, purchasing both bulk quantities (measured in pounds or bags) and specialty lots with documented quality testing and germination rates.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issued an IFB (601310000100853) on April 14, 2026, for 2,700 pounds of wildflower seed mix with twenty specified native species, delivered to the Waco District in 50-pound bags by March 27, 2026, with award based on lowest price and vendor ability to meet specifications; Georgia Correctional Industries (GCI) awarded cotton seed procurement GCI0001091 to Triangle Chemical Company at $57,994.00 on March 31, 2026, with delivery to Rogers Farm Service in Reidsville. Dane County, Wisconsin, conducted a surplus seed sale RFB (2026RFB043PR) due June 2, 2026, for eight lots of cream gentian seeds tested by the Wisconsin Crop Improvement Association with germination rates between 89% and 97%. A fourth opportunity—DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction ITB due July 13, 2026—appears to be miscoded and involves IT infrastructure, not seeds, and should be disregarded for this commodity assessment.
