UNSPSC 10152300: Legume seeds and seedlings

Seeds of plants in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae). Includes beans, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts.

UNSPSC 10152300 Legume seeds and seedlings is a Class code covering the procurement of seed stock for edible crop production at state and local facilities. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to support agricultural operations at correctional institutions, parks departments, and similar facilities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the dominant buyer in the recent record, soliciting seeds for spring planting, green beans, fall vegetables, and other edible crops through competitive sealed-bid processes. These solicitations are IFBs or open competitive bids with submission deadlines ranging from same-day to multi-week notice periods. Vendors must typically register through the issuing body's procurement portal, submit F.O.B. destination pricing on standardized bid forms, and meet state compliance requirements including E-Verify participation, non-debarment certification, and regulatory compliance documentation.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, where the TDCJ has posted four seed solicitations between January and June 2026—IW239915 for spring seeds (January 22, 2026 deadline), IW252545 for fall vegetable seeds (June 9, 2026 deadline), and IW251789 for green bean seeds (June 18, 2026 deadline). One unrelated opportunity for IT infrastructure reconstruction at DeKalb County, Georgia appears miscoded under this legume-seed category and should be disregarded. The TDCJ solicitations do not specify estimated contract values, quantities, or incumbent vendors in available summaries; vendors are directed to complete specification documents and standard terms posted on the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub. Payment terms are typically net-30 days after invoice receipt and goods delivery, with bid holds of thirty days post-opening. No set-aside designations, DBE requirements, or preference programs are mentioned in the available records.
