NIGP 08510: Bagging, Burlap (for Baling Cotton)

NIGP Item 08510 Bagging, Burlap (For Baling Cotton) addresses a specialized commodity with minimal current state and local procurement activity. The scope is narrowly defined—burlap bags used specifically for cotton baling operations—a use case largely confined to agricultural or cotton-handling jurisdictions and entities. State and local governments procurement under this code is sparse; recent opportunities in the data set do not include active solicitations for burlap bagging materials. The one substantive recent notice from the City of Dallas (Solicitation BC2600029656, posted April 23, 2026) addresses janitorial supplies and trash bags rather than burlap or cotton-specific bagging, falling outside the scope of Item 08510.

Geographic activity cannot be meaningfully characterized from the available opportunities, as no active solicitations for burlap bagging are present in the recent state and local contract opportunities block. The code remains inactive in the current procurement cycle, signaling either very low demand among state and local buyers or purchasing activity conducted through cooperative agreements, standing orders, or vendor-direct relationships outside formal competitive solicitation.
