UNSPSC 10152404: Carrot seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10152404 Carrot seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under it centers on green bean seeds, fall vegetable seeds, and other edible crop seeds for correctional facility operations—not carrots specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the primary issuer, procuring seeds to support inmate food production and institutional gardens. Work involves the purchase and delivery of vegetable seed varieties to TDCJ facilities, with vendors required to register and submit responses through the TDCJ Procurement Portal via the Bonfire Hub platform.

TDCJ has issued multiple IFBs for seed procurement in 2026. Solicitation IW252545 (Fall Vegetable Seed Crop), posted May 20, 2026 with a June 9, 2026 response deadline, seeks various fall edible crop seed varieties with specifications detailed in the attached specification document; a second posting of the same solicitation (IW252545) on June 9, 2026 reiterated the June 9 deadline. Solicitation IW251789 (Green Bean Seeds), posted June 18, 2026 with the same-day response deadline, targets green bean seed supply. No estimated contract values, contract terms, set-asides, or incumbent vendors are disclosed in the solicitation notices. All TDCJ seed procurement activity is concentrated in Texas, with procurement inquiries directed to Catherine Cain or Carolyn Dahlen at TDCJ and technical portal support provided by Euna Procurement Solutions. The code shows no recent activity outside TDCJ or Texas corrections operations.
