NIGP 02049: Irrigation Equipment and Supplies, Agricultural

NIGP 02049 Irrigation Equipment and Supplies, Agricultural (Item) covers irrigation system components, controllers, and related hardware that state and local governments procure for parks, golf courses, school grounds, and municipal facilities. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of turnkey irrigation installation projects, smart-controller upgrades, system maintenance and repair services, and discrete equipment purchases—with activity split between capital projects (new system builds) and ongoing operational support (repair, testing, and supplies).

Issuing bodies span city parks and public works departments, school districts, special districts, and transit or airport authorities. The City of West Jordan (Utah), Granite School District (Utah), the City of Peoria (Arizona), and the City of Tampa (Florida) appear multiple times in recent postings. State departments, notably the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and New York State Purchasing, are active buyers of irrigation services and equipment. Recent solicitations include the City of West Jordan's Harvest Estates Park Irrigation Installation (IFB, bids due November 10, 2026); Granite School District's West Kearns Elementary automatic irrigation system (IFB, bids due October 29, 2026); Caltrans Division of Procurement's smart controller and automatic landscape irrigation system repair and maintenance services across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties (IFB 07A6489, bids due October 13, 2026, with a three-year contract ceiling of $484,000); and the County of Orange's Smart Irrigation Controllers and Master Valve/Flow Sensor upgrades at Mile Square Regional Park (IFB, bids due May 19, 2026, with 5% preference for County of Orange Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified vendors). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Utah, California, Arizona, and Florida, though activity spans the continental U.S., including Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Colorado. Prevailing wage requirements apply in California and Oregon; set-asides or preferences for SB, MB, DVBE, and LSBE vendors appear frequently in California and municipal-level procurements. Contract values range from under $12,000 for discrete equipment (e.g., Pembroke Pines' duplex control panel) to $8.5 million (Salt Lake City's dual golf course irrigation renovation projects, pre-qualification due September 30, 2026). Most projects operate on firm fixed-price or lump-sum structures with completion windows of 60–180 days; multi-year on-call and supply agreements are common for maintenance and materials procurement.
