UNSPSC 10152401: Potato seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10152401 Potato seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of vegetable and edible crop seeds for operational use by state agencies. In practice, state and local governments use this code to source seeds for correctional facilities, parks, and other operational gardens and food production activities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has dominated recent activity under this code, issuing multiple IFBs for spring seeds, fall vegetable seeds, and green bean seeds to support agricultural operations across its facilities. Vendors must register through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform and submit bids electronically; submission deadlines are strictly enforced, with late bids rejected. Bidders must hold valid Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers, certify E-Verify participation, demonstrate non-debarment status, and comply with antitrust laws and restrictions on foreign business dealings. Payment terms typically run thirty days after invoice receipt or goods delivery, with pricing quoted F.O.B. destination and freight prepaid. TDCJ reserves discretion to reject any or all bid items and evaluates on low line item pricing, total costs, and best overall value.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing four documented solicitations between January and June 2026: IFB IW239915 for spring seeds (due January 22, 2026), IFB IW252545 for fall edible crop seeds (posted May 20, 2026, due June 9, 2026), and IFB IW251789 for green bean seeds (posted and due June 18, 2026). TDCJ has not disclosed estimated contract values, quantities, delivery schedules, or contract terms in the available solicitation summaries. One unrelated opportunity—DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for tennis center reconstruction—was incorrectly tagged with this seed code and does not reflect relevant activity under UNSPSC 10152401.
