NIGP 02073: Planting Equipment, Row Crop

NIGP 02073 Planting Equipment, Row Crop, an Item code, covers agricultural machinery used for planting operations in row-crop farming. State and local governments procuring under this code purchase seeding and planting equipment for county extension services, agricultural demonstration programs, parks and recreation departments managing large grounds, school agricultural education programs, and specialized landscape maintenance operations. The equipment solicited includes planters, seeders, and associated implements designed for systematic row planting of crops or large-scale vegetation establishment. Issuing bodies span county agricultural extension offices, municipal parks departments, county purchasing cooperatives, and school districts with vocational or agricultural education programs.

Recent activity in this Item code is sparse. The most recent state and local opportunities posted do not include row-crop planting equipment solicitations; instead, recent records show administrative notices (Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation in July 2026), law enforcement equipment cooperative purchases (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for multiple Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions, due June 16, 2026), and school nutrition program food procurement (Butts County School System IFB for food supplies through June 2026). Geographic and issuing-body data specific to row-crop planting equipment cannot be reliably drawn from the available recent opportunities. State and local procurement activity under NIGP 02073 appears limited in the current period; vendors should monitor regional county extension offices and agricultural education program solicitations for forward opportunities.
