NIGP 59550: Peat Moss

NIGP 59550 Peat Moss is an Item code that captures soil amendments and growing media used in landscaping, grounds maintenance, and horticultural applications by state and local entities. State and local governments procure peat moss primarily for parks departments, recreational facilities, athletic field construction and restoration, grounds maintenance operations, and specialized landscaping projects where moisture retention and soil conditioning are critical to field performance and durability.

The recent opportunity record shows minimal current activity under this code. DeKalb County, Georgia posted ITB 2026-076-ITB on June 9, 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park with a response deadline of July 13, 2026; however, the sourced description emphasizes IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation rather than peat moss procurement as the primary scope. Without additional recent solicitations explicitly itemizing peat moss under this code, activity cannot be characterized by issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or a pattern of representative opportunities. A sourcing professional should treat this code as currently inactive or dormant in recent state and local procurement activity.
