NIGP 51570: Sod Cutters and Lifters

NIGP 51570 Sod Cutters And Lifters, an Item code, covers grounds maintenance equipment that state and local governments acquire for landscaping and turf management operations. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses not only sod cutters and lifters themselves but broader grounds equipment procurement — tractors, mowers, utility vehicles, and related supplies — as well as sod furnishment and installation services. The issuing bodies range from community college districts managing multiple campuses to municipalities purchasing landscape installation and maintenance services. Collin County Community College District's three-year contract for grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses, and the City of Dallas's sod furnishment and installation solicitation, illustrate the mix of equipment supply and grounds services being procured under this code.
