NIGP 33506: Ammonium Nitrate

NIGP 33506 Ammonium Nitrate is an Item code that encompasses fertilizers and chemical application products procured by state and local governments for grounds maintenance, turf management, and infrastructure support. State and local agencies buy ammonium nitrate and related fertilizer products through standing supply contracts and as-needed arrangements, typically paired with delivery logistics, material certification, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations including OSHA Material Safety Data Sheet requirements. Issuing bodies include county maintenance departments, municipal parks and recreation facilities, and special-purpose districts managing turf, athletic fields, and recreational grounds. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of standing supply agreements with price adjustments over multi-year terms and discrete seasonal application services, both requiring vendors to demonstrate experience, maintain insurance, and comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace certifications.

Recent activity spans Florida and Georgia. Pasco County, Florida issued an IFB in May 2026 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis with deliveries to two county maintenance facilities through September 30, 2029, with bi-annual CPI-U price adjustments permitted and local vendor preference available; the response deadline was June 16, 2026. White County, Georgia issued an RFP in March 2026 for chemical application services—including fertilizer applications, weed control, insect control, and core aeration—at three parks and recreation facilities with a one-year contract term and sealed proposals due April 2, 2026. A third solicitation from the Texas General Land Office posted in June 2026 under the title "Fertilizer" but the summary describes industrial water infrastructure engineering and design work, suggesting potential classification mismatch or data error in the underlying record.
