NIGP 67584: Weed Control Blankets (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP 67584 Weed Control Blankets (Including Recycled Types), an Item code, covers vegetation management products and weed control services that state and local governments deploy across highways, secondary waterways, municipal streets, forestry areas, and public grounds. Recent solicitations show that state agencies, counties, and municipalities are procuring both chemical herbicides (liquid and dry formulations, aquatic variants, adjuvants, and surfactants) and mechanical or spray-based weed control services on a contract or project basis. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' solicitation for vegetation management products and the Orange County, Florida request for weed control services on secondary canals and ditches illustrate the range: statewide framework agreements that consolidate supply across multiple agencies and jurisdictions, and direct service contracts for ongoing maintenance of county-wide waterway systems. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments, counties, and special districts; state agencies and counties appear as both direct buyers and beneficiaries of cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Washington State, with its Department of Enterprise Services managing a multi-agency vegetation management contract vehicle supporting state agencies (45.33% of historical spending), counties (45.11%), and special districts and political subdivisions (9.64%), and Florida, with Orange County's secondary canal and ditch weed control contract, represent recent activity in this category. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services posted RFP 12225RFP on July 7, 2026, with responses due August 20, 2026, seeking qualified vendors across three contract categories (WSDOT tested products, related vegetation management products, and utility vegetation control products); the solicitation requires Washington State Department of Agriculture Pesticide Dealer Licenses and offers reserved awards for Washington small businesses and veteran-owned businesses. Orange County, Florida posted sealed-offer solicitation Y26-158 on July 1, 2026, for countywide weed control services on secondary canals and ditches, with responses due June 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. Historical annual spending under the Washington contract vehicle ranged from $914,419 to $3.87 million over four years, with contract terms of up to sixty months and anticipated award announcements in September 2026.
