UNSPSC 10171502: Plant hormones

UNSPSC 10171502 Plant hormones is a Commodity code covering growth regulators, auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, and related plant-hormone products that state and local governments purchase for agricultural extension, horticulture, landscape management, and research applications. State and local buyers under this code include state departments of agriculture, county cooperative extension services, university agricultural research programs, and municipal parks and recreation departments. The products themselves range from synthetic hormone formulations used to promote root development or suppress unwanted growth, to natural plant-growth regulators applied in greenhouse or field settings. Purchasing volume and frequency vary widely by jurisdiction and season, with activity concentrated in spring and early summer when landscaping and grounds-maintenance programs ramp up.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under UNSPSC 10171502. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs in the opportunity record, geographic concentration and representative recent activity cannot be characterized. Firms interested in this code should monitor state agricultural department procurement channels, county extension service purchasing portals, and university research administration platforms directly, as small-value, routine purchases of plant hormones often move through blanket orders or standing cooperative agreements rather than formal competitive solicitations.
