NIGP 54576: Soil Measuring Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 54576 Soil Measuring Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code used sparingly in recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no recent opportunities explicitly soliciting soil measuring equipment as a primary commodity. The three most recent opportunities posted across the procurement landscape—Sacramento County's erosion control services contract (RFB #2026RFB0049, due June 11, 2026), Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), and Klein Independent School District's career technical education and advanced academics solicitation (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026)—address erosion control application, law enforcement goods, and educational materials respectively, none of which align with soil measuring instrumentation or equipment procurement.

Without representative recent opportunities under this code, the purchasing activity and issuing-body mix cannot be characterized from current market signals. Vendors pursuing state and local contracts under NIGP 54576 should monitor for future solicitations from state environmental departments, county public works offices, and water management districts, where soil testing and measurement equipment would most likely be procured, but current procurement records provide no concrete basis for assessing market activity, geographic concentration, or buyer preferences under this code at this time.
