NIGP 02037: Grass Seed Strippers and Cleaners

NIGP 02037 Grass Seed Strippers and Cleaners, an Item code, encompasses equipment and machinery for processing seed—removing chaff, debris, and foreign material from harvested grass seed to produce clean, marketable product for turf and landscape applications. State and local governments procure under this code when conducting large-scale landscaping restoration, grounds maintenance, and erosion-control projects that require high-volume seeding operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county government departments (public works divisions managing infrastructure repair sites), school districts purchasing supplies for grounds maintenance, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Recent activity shows county-level public works departments as the primary buyers, particularly when managing post-construction landscape restoration following utility repairs.

Fulton County Government's Department of Public Works issued ITB 26ITB169170A-ST on October 5, 2026, due November 3, 2026, for landscaping restoration services across multiple county sites following sewer and water main repairs. The scope includes seeding operations using Fescue and Rye seed varieties, along with sod replacement, mulch application, topsoil installation, erosion-control matting, and tree and shrub planting across eight tree groups and three shrub groups with line-item quantities ranging from 5 to 12,000 units. The contract runs through December 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewal terms, and is subject to Fulton County's MBE participation target of 11.49% and FBE participation target of 2.62%. Recent opportunities in this code cluster in Georgia (Fulton County), with no evidence of wider multistate activity or significant school district or transit-authority participation in the available opportunities. The code shows limited current market signal; most recent state and local activity focuses on the landscape-services and seed-supply dimension of the code rather than standalone seed-processing equipment procurement.
