NIGP 08555: Bags, Sand

NIGP 08555 Bags, Sand is an Item code covering the supply and delivery of sand in bag form for state and local operations. State and local governments procure sand bags primarily for two uses: traction sand to support winter road maintenance and street operations, and emergency-response sandbags for flood control and disaster management. Recent solicitations show procurement offices specifying material composition, dimensions, weight capacity, stitching standards, UV resistance, and storage durability. Products must be new, unopened, and in original packaging, with delivery typically FOB to specified municipal or state facilities. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city public works departments and state emergency management agencies, with the City of Dallas and the State of California Department of General Services appearing as recent repeat buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The City of Dallas posted two separate solicitations in September and October 2026 for bags of sand and traction sand respectively, both with delivery to Building A at 7555 Lemmon Avenue. The State of California Department of General Services issued RFB-IS-27200229 (Contract 27-00222-SANDBAGS) due October 15, 2026, requesting sandbags for emergency management and disaster response operations at multiple delivery locations throughout California, with pricing structured by location-based unit costs. The Dallas solicitation issued September 18, 2026 (IFSAVIB1200057) required bids by September 24, 2026 through the city's online bonfire portal, with freight costs included in pricing. Sealed bids and completion of all required state forms, including vendor qualifications and certifications, are mandatory for California procurement.
