NIGP 33566: Phosphate, Agricultural (Including Triple Superphosphate)

NIGP 33566 Phosphate, Agricultural (Including Triple Superphosphate) is an Item code covering fertilizer products with phosphorous content that state and local governments procure for land and vegetation management. The Missouri Department of Conservation's recent bid for fertilizer delivery to conservation lands (860 acres across two sites, with application rates of 40 pounds per acre actual phosphorous) and the California Department of Transportation's highway planting restoration project illustrate the concrete work: state agencies buy phosphate fertilizers for habitat restoration, conservation area maintenance, and roadside vegetation establishment. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state resource-management departments (conservation, transportation) procuring both fertilizer delivery and application services tied to landscape restoration or land stewardship objectives. The scope extends beyond fertilizer supply alone to encompass delivery logistics, nutrient specification compliance, and field application with performance verification.

Recent opportunities span at least the Midwest and West Coast. The Missouri Department of Conservation issued an IFB for Fertilizer for Peck Ranch with bids due July 30, 2026, requiring firm fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis and compliance with specific nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium ratios across 860 acres, with liquidated damages of 20 percent per acre for missed delivery deadlines and a set-aside requirement for Organization for the Blind/Sheltered Workshop or Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation at a minimum of $5,000 or 2 percent of contract value. The California Department of Transportation issued a Small Business Minor B contract (07A6346) for highway planting restoration in Los Angeles County with an estimated project cost of $282,800.00 and bids due April 7, 2026, restricted to certified Small Businesses under state section 2-1.05, with a maximum bid cap of $484,000.00 and 370 total working days for completion. Both solicitations emphasize compliance verification, fixed-price delivery commitments, and integration with broader environmental or transportation objectives rather than fertilizer procurement in isolation.
