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

NIGP 59506 Bamboo, Cane, Rattan, Reed, Etc., an Item code, covers materials and products manufactured from natural plant fibers and similar organic stock used in state and local construction, furnishings, and grounds maintenance. Recent state and local solicitation activity under this code remains limited; the most recent posting in the source is DeKalb County's June 2026 ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park, Decatur, Georgia, due July 13, 2026, which specifies IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than procurement of bamboo, cane, rattan, or reed materials themselves. The scope mismatch suggests either that the county's posting has been categorized under this code due to incidental material specifications (such as rattan or woven-cane elements in the pro shop or facility furnishings), or that state and local governments place minimal direct demand for these commodity materials through formal competitive procurement.

Geographic concentration data and repeat issuing bodies are not supported by the source; available records show only the single DeKalb County, Georgia opportunity. Without additional recent solicitations across state agencies, municipalities, school districts, or other jurisdictions, characterizing issuing-body patterns or multi-state activity is not possible. Vendors evaluating this code should monitor state-level facilities and grounds contracts, educational institution RFPs for furnishings or outdoor fixtures, and park and recreation projects in markets with active procurement calendars, though posting frequency under this specific code appears low relative to broader construction and furnishings codes.
