UNSPSC 10152404: Carrot seeds or seedlings

UNSPSC 10152404 Carrot seeds or seedlings is a Commodity code covering seed procurement for vegetable production, though recent state and local solicitations under this code emphasize green beans, fall edible crops, and spring seeds rather than carrots specifically. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) dominates current activity under the code, soliciting seeds through competitive sealed-bid processes (IFB and ITB notice types) to support agricultural operations at correctional facilities. Vendors must register through the TDCJ Procurement Portal and Bonfire Hub platform to respond; submissions are electronic and must arrive by posted deadlines with no late submissions accepted. The solicitations do not specify quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, set-aside designations, or estimated contract values in publicly available documentation, requiring bidders to consult full specification documents attached to each IFB.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, with TDCJ posting multiple seed procurements between January and June 2026 — including IW239915 (Spring Seeds, due January 22, 2026), IW252545 (Fall Vegetable Seed, due June 9, 2026), and IW251789 (Green Bean Seeds, due June 18, 2026). A single unrelated DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for tennis center IT infrastructure reconstruction (July 13, 2026 response date) appears misclassified under this code and does not reflect actual seed-procurement activity. Bidders on TDCJ solicitations must hold valid Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers, comply with E-Verify participation and non-debarment certification, and meet state and federal regulatory requirements including antitrust law compliance and restrictions on foreign-entity dealings. Payment terms typically provide remittance thirty days after invoice or goods receipt, with TDCJ reserving the right to reject any bid items at its discretion.
