NIGP 33578: Urea, Fertilizer Grade

NIGP 33578 Urea, Fertilizer Grade, an Item code, covers fertilizer products—including urea and specialty formulations—that state and local governments procure for turf and landscape maintenance across parks, athletic facilities, rights-of-way, and recreational properties. The sourcing reflects a mix of direct product purchases and integrated chemical application service contracts in which fertilizer is bundled with herbicides, weed control, insect management, and turf conditioning work. Issuing bodies include municipal parks and recreation departments and county commissioners' offices managing multi-site park systems; these jurisdictions typically consolidate procurement across several facilities to achieve volume efficiency and standardized maintenance schedules.
