UNSPSC 10152400: Tuber seeds and seedlings

Seeds or seedlings of plants that have a thickened underground part of a stem or rhizome serving as a food reserve. Examples include potatoes, yams, sweet potato, and cassava.

UNSPSC 10152400 Tuber seeds and seedlings is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses vegetable seeds and edible crop seeds purchased to support institutional food production and agricultural operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for green bean seeds and fall vegetable seed crops under this code, indicating that state correctional facilities use seed procurement to supply inmate work programs and institutional food service. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily state departments, specifically corrections systems managing agricultural operations within their institutional footprint.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, where the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for fall vegetable seed crop (solicitation IW252545, due June 9, 2026) and an IFB for green bean seeds (solicitation IW251789, due June 18, 2026). Both solicitations require electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via Bonfire Hub and direct questions to named TDCJ contacts. The source contains one unrelated opportunity—a DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for tennis center reconstruction—which does not align with the code's scope. Beyond the Texas postings, the recent-opportunities block presents no other state or local activity under this code. Vendors responding to TDCJ seed solicitations should register through the Euna Procurement website and note that neither solicitation specifies quantities, delivery schedules, pricing terms, contract duration, or estimated value in the available procurement notices.
