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 covering vegetable and crop seeds that state and local governments procure primarily for operational food production and grounds maintenance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) dominates recent activity under this code, issuing multiple IFBs for green bean seeds, fall edible crop seeds, and spring seeds to support institutional food service and agricultural operations across its facility network. The solicitations reflect straightforward competitive procurement of seed supplies with electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal; vendors must register through Euna Procurement and meet standard compliance certifications including E-Verify participation, non-debarment status, and Texas Identification and Federal Employer Identification Numbers. Pricing is typically quoted F.O.B. destination freight prepaid with thirty-day payment terms after invoice and goods receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TDCJ has posted five seed-procurement solicitations in the first half of 2026, including IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds (due June 9, 2026), IW251789 for green bean seeds (due June 18, 2026), and IW239915 for spring seeds (due January 22, 2026). The source shows no comparable seed-procurement activity from other state agencies, counties, municipalities, or school districts during this period; a single unrelated opportunity from DeKalb County, Georgia (tennis center IT infrastructure) is misclassified under this code and indicates no seed-procurement involvement. Geographic and issuing-body diversity remain limited to TDCJ, making this code a narrow, single-buyer market focused on institutional agricultural supply within the Texas corrections system.
