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 under which state and local governments procure vegetable and crop seeds for correctional facilities, institutional food service, and grounds maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing procurement of green bean seeds, fall vegetable seed crops, and related edible crop seeds for inmate and staff consumption. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the dominant issuing body in the available records, posting multiple seed procurement solicitations over a compressed timeframe in May and June 2026. Work under this code involves sourcing seed varieties meeting institutional quality and delivery standards, with procurement conducted through formal competitive bidding (IFB notices) and electronic submission portals.

Texas accounts for all identifiable recent activity under this code, with the TDCJ posting at least two distinct seed procurement opportunities in the past five months. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds with a June 9, 2026 response deadline (posted May 20, 2026) and separate solicitation IW251789 for green bean seeds due June 18, 2026 (posted June 18, 2026). Both solicitations required electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub; vendor inquiries were directed to Catherine Cain and Carolyn Dahlen at the TDCJ Procurement office. The solicitation records do not disclose estimated contract values, quantities required, delivery schedules, contract terms, or set-aside designations. One unrelated DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for IT infrastructure at a tennis center appears in the source but does not align with the code's legume and vegetable seed scope.
