NIGP 59560: Plant Sprayers and Respirators, Plant Propagation Mats, etc., and Accessories

NIGP 59560 Plant Sprayers and Respirators, Plant Propagation Mats, Etc., and Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure chemical vegetation control services, including herbicide application labor, materials, and equipment for invasive species and weed management at public facilities and infrastructure sites. The solicitations tracked under this code span county environmental services divisions and municipal parks departments, with issuing bodies managing right-of-way maintenance, drainage systems, and grounds restoration across public property portfolios.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with Hillsborough County, Florida posting an ITB for herbicide spraying and planting services to control invasive species at mitigation sites and drainage structures throughout the county—a three-year contract with an estimated value of $544,532.50 and a response deadline of August 3, 2026. The scope requires bidders to hold Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licenses in Right-of-Way Pest Control and Aquatic Pest Control, apply only State of Florida FDA-approved products, and deliver service within ten business days of purchase order receipt. Pricing is fixed per line item with annual escalation or de-escalation permitted based on the Consumer Price Index, and contractors must carry tiered insurance including general liability up to $5 million per occurrence and pollution liability of $1 million per occurrence. A second opportunity from DeKalb County, Georgia—an ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center posted June 9, 2026 with a July 13, 2026 response date—incorporated low-voltage infrastructure and IT cabling work alongside facility reconstruction, suggesting peripheral equipment and installation services may fall under this code when bundled with broader grounds or infrastructure projects.
