UNSPSC 10151927: Macraea seeds or cuttings

Seed of a plant of the Asteraceae family. It comes from South America and has a cosmopolitan distribution. Also known as: The chipaca, masiquia or cadillo, 1 Bidens pilosa.

UNSPSC 10151927 Macraea seeds or cuttings is a Commodity code nominally designated for a specific plant genus, but recent state and local solicitations show that this code captures a broader range of seed procurement activity — wildflower seed mixes, specialty gentian seeds, and cotton seed — rather than macraea-specific material. State and local governments are buying seeds for landscape and habitat restoration, agricultural operations, and correctional-facility farming programs under this code. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county governments, regional agricultural districts, and state correctional industries, reflecting a mix of infrastructure, land stewardship, and operational procurement across different agency missions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB 601310000100853) on April 14, 2026, for 2,700 pounds of wildflower seed blend (twenty native species) for the Waco District, with a bid deadline of March 27, 2026, and firm fixed-price delivery F.O.B. destination required. Dane County, Wisconsin, in conjunction with Mattoon Village, conducted a surplus seed sale for cream gentian seeds, posted May 11, 2026, with bids due June 2, 2026, including eight lots with documented germination rates between 89% and 97%. Georgia Correctional Industries issued RFQ 92100GCI0001091 on March 19, 2026, for cotton seed delivery to Rogers Farm Service in Reidsville, with a March 26, 2026, deadline and a resulting award to Triangle Chemical Company for $57,994.00. One unrelated solicitation (DeKalb County's tennis center IT infrastructure rebuild) was tagged to this code but involves no seed procurement and should be disregarded for code-scope analysis.
