NIGP 67584: Weed Control Blankets (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP 67584 Weed Control Blankets (Including Recycled Types) is an Item code representing landscape and environmental management products state and local governments procure to suppress vegetation growth on managed lands. The recent opportunities block shows state and local buyers are soliciting vegetation management services and related chemical products — herbicides, aquatic herbicides, adjuvants, surfactants, and ornamental products — for highways, city streets, forestry areas, nurseries, and canal and ditch systems. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation and enterprise services, counties, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services issued RFP 12225RFP in July 2026 to establish a statewide contract vehicle for vegetation management products across three categories (WSDOT Tested Products, Related Vegetation Management Products, and Utility Vegetation Control Products), with historical annual spending ranging from $914,419 to $3.87 million and cumulative four-year spending of approximately $7.77 million. Primary purchasers under that vehicle were state agencies (45.33%), counties (45.11%), and special districts and political subdivisions (9.64%).

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' RFP 12225RFP, due August 20, 2026, includes set-aside awards reserved for Washington Small Business and Certified Veteran-Owned Business entities and a five percent cost reduction incentive for bidders certifying PCB-free products and packaging. Orange County, Florida issued solicitation Y26-158 for weed control services on secondary canals and ditches countywide, with responses due June 30, 2026, under an ITB structure requiring electronic submission through OpenGov e-Procurement. The Washington solicitation indicates demand across state agencies, counties, and special districts purchasing vegetation management products under cooperative purchasing arrangements, while the Florida opportunity reflects direct county service delivery for canal and drainage infrastructure maintenance.
