NIGP 67540: Insecticides and Fungicides, Dry

NIGP 67540 Insecticides And Fungicides, Dry is an Item code covering dry chemical pest-control products and granular application materials that state and local governments procure for vegetation management, mosquito control, spongy moth eradication, facility pest management, and grounds maintenance across agencies, municipalities, and special districts. State and local buyers source dry herbicides, granular larvicides, fire ant killer granules, and related dry pesticide formulations through competitive sealed bids and informal quotes, with procurement organized around specific product line items, package sizes, and EPA-registered chemical specifications. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' recent statewide RFP for vegetation management products (due August 20, 2026) exemplifies the scope—the solicitation established three contract categories for dry and liquid herbicides, aquatic products, and utility vegetation control items serving state agencies, counties, and special districts across four-year cumulative spending of approximately $7.77 million, with primary purchasers split among state agencies (45.33%), counties (45.11%), and special districts (9.64%). Hillsborough County's ITB for herbicides and insecticides (due March 6, 2026) specified four granular and aerosol product lines with two-year estimated spending of $53,797.50. Pasco County, Florida, solicited herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis through June 16, 2026, requiring bags no larger than 50 pounds with one ton per pallet. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple dry insecticide and fungicide procurements throughout April and May 2026, though specific scope details were not disclosed in available documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Washington State, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Maryland, with a mix of county public works departments, state corrections and natural resources agencies, special districts, and municipal facilities management issuing notices. State departments and county governments dominate the buyer base, supplemented by municipal utilities, public colleges, and mosquito control districts. Pinellas County's aerial larvicide application RFP (posted April 23, 2026, response due same day) sought per-acre pricing for approximately 4,000 annual acres of aerial granular treatment with an estimated $400,000 annual value and SBE procurement preference. Valencia College's college-wide pest control services ITB (responses closed September 3, 2025) attracted three bidders; while that procurement emphasized general pest control rather than dry formulations specifically, it signals institutional purchasing patterns for chemical pest management. Recent notices require EPA registration, compliance with FIFRA, valid pesticide dealer licenses where applicable, third-party testing for PCB-free certification in some jurisdictions, and comprehensive product labeling and Safety Data Sheet documentation at time of purchase.
