NIGP 59562: Recycled Nursery Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 59562 Recycled Nursery Equipment and Accessories, an Item code, covers the supply of nursery plants and landscaping products that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for grounds maintenance, park development, and facility beautification. The scope includes annuals, potted plants, plugs, grass seeds, trees, and related horticultural supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal governments and county departments managing parks, public grounds, and capital projects. The City of Altamonte Springs and DeKalb County represent the recent buyer mix, with municipalities and counties using framework or indefinite-delivery contracts to source landscaping materials without guaranteed purchase quantities, allowing them to issue partial requests for quotes throughout the contract term.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Altamonte Springs posted ITB 26-085-KY in August 2026 (bids due July 29, 2026) for nursery plants and products spanning four product groups—plugs, trees, potted plants, and grass seed—with delivery required within 15 days for in-stock items or up to 30 days for special orders to zip codes 32701 and 32714. The contract runs one year from October 1, 2026, with four optional one-year renewals. Bidders must submit percentage-off discounts from published catalog prices plus flat delivery fees and carry $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability and Commercial Auto Liability coverage. DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB (due July 13, 2026) for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction included IT and low-voltage infrastructure scope, indicating that nursery equipment and landscaping supplies may also support capital construction projects alongside routine park and grounds maintenance.
