The CDC continues to maintain a revenue neutral cost of Breeder Seed and therefore the price may vary slightly. Our current Breeder Seed pricing can be found on the CDC website, Request for Breeder Seed.

In addition, for some crops, we will also require the successful proponent to purchase a minimum amount of Breeder Seed (over several years, if necessary). This minimum amount will vary depending on the crop kind and is identified above.

The CDC reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. Proponents of proposals accepted by the CDC will be invited to discuss substantive licensing terms to be concluded within 90 days of the award; however, finalization of a license agreement is not assured.

Please sign up for our variety tender email list and we will notify you about new varieties and important dates for submitting a variety tendering proposal.
