NIGP 59563: Rocks, Ornamental and Decorative

NIGP 59563 Rocks, Ornamental and Decorative, Item code, encompasses supply and delivery of landscaping and structural decorative stone materials that state and local governments procure for facility beautification, infrastructure hardscaping, and water-conservation initiatives. Recent solicitations show demand for xeriscape gravel, landscape rocks, decorative stone in gateway signage installations, and aggregate materials for park and recreation facility repairs. The issuing bodies span city park and recreation departments, county commissioners' procurement offices, state correctional facilities, and county engineering departments, with notable repeat activity from Dallas Park and Recreation Department and the State of Utah Department of Corrections.

The code sees recent activity across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Utah. Representative opportunities include the Dallas Park and Recreation Department's Audelia Road Gateway Signage project (RFP, bid due September 11, 2026) soliciting decorative stone and landscape rocks for Lake Highlands entrance signage; the City of Augusta, Georgia Engineering and Environmental Services Department's annual aggregate contract (ITB 27-016, bid due September 3, 2026) covering coarse aggregate, crusher run, and stone rip rap in multiple sizes on an as-needed basis; and the State of Utah Department of Corrections' two matching IFBs for xeriscape gravel delivery to facilities in Salt Lake City and Gunnison, Utah (both May 28, 2026 closing) with fixed budgets of $400,000 each and June 30, 2026 delivery deadlines. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement to Blades Group LLC for specialized rock asphalt reflects niche demand for proprietary materials where supplier limitation applies.
