NIGP 18066: Mineral Oil, etc.

NIGP 18066 Mineral Oil, Etc., an Item code, covers liquid and dry herbicides, aquatic herbicides, adjuvants, surfactants, and ornamental vegetation management products that state agencies, municipalities, counties, and special districts apply to highways, city streets, forestry areas, and nurseries. State and local buyers under this code seek products meeting specific regulatory and environmental standards, including valid pesticide dealer licensing and compliance with state environmental codes; preference accrues to vendors certifying products and packaging as PCB-free through independent third-party testing or verified tools. Issuing bodies include state transportation and enterprise-services departments alongside county governments and special-purpose districts managing public lands.
