NIGP 08573: Recycled Bags and Erosion Control Items

NIGP 08573 Recycled Bags And Erosion Control Items, an Item code, covers erosion control materials and related products that state and local governments procure for construction, landscaping, and stormwater management projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing geotextile rolls, erosion blankets, silt fence, turbidity curtain barriers, staples, and erosion control supplies as components of infrastructure construction and site stabilization work, alongside recycled and virgin plastic bags for municipal waste and recycling programs. Issuing bodies span county transportation and parks departments, city public works and purchasing divisions, and special-purpose agencies; repeat buyers include Volusia County, Florida (ITB 26-B-58KO for erosion control materials and geosynthetic products, due March 26, 2026), Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department, Colorado (SOQ for aggregate and erosion control materials through a five-year short-list arrangement, due May 27, 2026), and the City of Dallas, Texas (Informal Solicitation for erosion control products, due May 12, 2026). Across these procurements, vendors supply materials on FOB delivery or FOB pit bases with haul and delivery fees calculated separately, and buyers enforce compliance with state transportation specifications (Florida DOT, Georgia DOT standards) and performance requirements including ASTM testing standards for bags and geotextile products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas, Richardson, Watsonville region), Florida (Volusia County), Colorado (Boulder County), and Georgia (Marietta), with additional activity in California. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Richardson, Texas issuing an ITB for recycle and trash bags with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $300,000 (due April 28, 2026, with pre-bid conference April 7, 2026), and Volusia County, Florida issuing an ITB for geotextile rolls, erosion blankets, silt fence, and turbidity curtain barriers on a three-year Master Agreement with two optional one-year renewals (due March 26, 2026). Vendors pursuing this code typically compete on price, experience, compliance with material specifications, and geographic proximity; local preferences appear in Volusia County's procurement (three percent preference for respondents with permanent locations in specified central Florida counties). Most opportunities require samples, references from comparable municipal projects, proof of insurance, and E-Verify certification, with delivery and product-quality warranties extending twelve months or the contract period.
