NIGP 33540: Fertilizers, Liquid, All Types (Except Anhydrous Ammonia)

NIGP 33540 Fertilizers, Liquid, All Types (Except Anhydrous Ammonia) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure liquid and granular fertilizer products, micronutrient amendments, and related agricultural inputs for maintenance operations, grounds care, and specialized agricultural programs. Recent solicitations show state departments and counties buying zinc fertilizers, copper sulfate formulations, and blended nutrient products through both firm fixed-price and indefinite-quantity arrangements. The State of Texas and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicit fertilizer supplies for agricultural operations and grounds maintenance; Pasco County, Florida has issued multiple as-needed solicitations for fertilizers bundled with herbicides and pesticides under single-vendor or multi-vendor contracts. Work ranges from straightforward supply of packaged granular products in 50-pound bags to custom-blended formulations requiring manufacturer certification and Material Safety Data Sheets. Issuing bodies include state agencies responsible for agriculture and corrections, county maintenance operations, and special-purpose districts managing grounds and water-quality infrastructure.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with recent opportunities posted between May and July 2026. The State of Texas issued an IFB for zinc fertilizer (IW248394B) due July 24, 2026, seeking supply and delivery to state agricultural operations with pricing on specified line items and quantities. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026) and issued a broader IFB for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides (IFBSP26074, due June 16, 2026) with deliveries to two county facilities, requiring vendors to demonstrate a minimum of three years' experience and two comparable prior contracts, F.O.B. destination pricing, and insurance coverage including $2 million general liability. The Pasco County three-year contract runs through September 30, 2029 with two optional one-year renewals and permits bi-annual price adjustments based on Consumer Price Index. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations, though Pasco County offers local-vendor preference consideration for holders of a Local Business Tax Receipt.
