NIGP 02275: Sprigger and Seeder Parts, Grass

NIGP 02275 Sprigger and Seeder Parts, Grass is an Item code that rolls up state and local government procurement of native grass seeds, seed-related materials, and sod furnishment and installation services for landscape restoration and flood-control applications. Recent solicitations show demand for certified native grass and forb seeds sourced within ecotype regions, cleaned and preprocessed seeds with documented germination and viability testing, and turnkey sod installation across municipal landscapes. The code draws from special-purpose districts (flood control authorities), municipal parks and grounds departments, and county purchasing offices managing landscape and environmental restoration projects.

The Harris County Flood Control District issued an ITB for supply of native seeds and related items due April 20, 2026, seeking regionally appropriate genetic stock with state or commercial lab certification no more than six months prior to delivery, hulled and debearded seed meeting precise labeling and germination-percentage requirements, and delivery to its Michael Talbott Service Center in Houston under a one-year initial contract with four optional one-year renewals. The City of Dallas issued an Annual Contract for furnishment and installation of sod at multiple city locations due March 31, 2026, requiring demonstrated capability across geographically dispersed sites, five professional references from comparable prior work, and standard municipal insurance with $1 million per-occurrence general liability and $2 million aggregate coverage. Recent activity centers in Texas, with the Harris County and Dallas solicitations representing the primary procurement signals under this code. The Harris County opportunity carries M/WBE good-faith-effort expectations and requires minimum wage compliance at $21.65 per hour adjusted annually.
