NIGP 59506: Bamboo, Cane, Rattan, Reed, etc.

NIGP 59506 Bamboo, Cane, Rattan, Reed, Etc., an Item code, describes specialty natural-fiber materials and products used in construction, furnishings, and decorative applications. State and local governments procure items under this code for park facilities, public buildings, landscaping, and interior finishes where bamboo framing, rattan screening, reed thatch, or cane furniture serves functional or aesthetic purposes. Issuing bodies across the code include municipal park departments, county facilities management offices, and school districts undertaking capital projects or renovation work that incorporates these materials as components of larger construction or renovation scopes.

The most recent state-local activity under the code is sparse. DeKalb County, Georgia issued ITB 2026-076-ITB on June 9, 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park, Decatur, with bids due July 13, 2026; the primary scope centers on IT and low-voltage infrastructure systems rather than natural-fiber materials, suggesting bamboo, cane, or rattan may appear only as incidental components such as fencing, screening, or pro shop furnishings within the broader project. Without additional recent opportunities in the source block, the code shows minimal current procurement momentum in state and local markets.
