NIGP 51506: Baggers and Catchers, Grass, Lawn Mower

NIGP 51506 Baggers and Catchers, Grass, Lawn Mower is an Item code that describes equipment and services for commercial grass and lawn maintenance operations, though recent state and local solicitations reveal the code captures a broader scope of outdoor power equipment, parts, and repair services used across municipal departments, transit facilities, and grounds-maintenance programs. State and local governments procure walk-behind and riding mowers, trimmers, edgers, chainsaws, blowers, and related hand-held power tools from this code, along with replacement parts, repair services, and grounds-maintenance consumables such as fertilizers and weed-control products. Issuing bodies span cities, counties, community college districts, and state facility operators; the City of Tucson and Douglas County Board of Commissioners have posted recent solicitations for multi-vendor equipment and repair contracts, while Collin County Community College District established a three-year grounds-equipment supply agreement across its ten campuses.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest regions, with posted opportunities from Mississippi (City of Vicksburg), Georgia (Douglas County and the Georgia Department of Aviation), Texas (Collin County Community College District and City of Tucson), and a cooperative-purchasing vehicle spanning multiple Western states. The City of Tucson issued IFB 260207 for outdoor power equipment, parts, and repair services with a June 12, 2026 due date, requiring multiple vendor awards and local service facilities with trained technicians and parts inventory to support citywide departments. Douglas County Board of Commissioners posted an IFB for landscape maintenance at four I-20 interchanges with a September 11, 2026 response date, including a 15% disadvantaged business enterprise participation goal and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 24, 2026. Collin County Community College District's ITB for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies (estimated annual value $48,000) closed July 10, 2024 and established a contract term through August 31, 2027.
