NIGP 67585: Dry Formulation Herbicides

NIGP 67585 Dry Formulation Herbicides is an Item code covering dry and pelleted herbicide products used by state and local governments to manage vegetation at parks, wastewater treatment plants, transportation corridors, and facilities. State and local buyers source these products through both blanket purchase orders for as-needed supply and multi-year master agreements. Recent solicitations show procurement of specific dry formulations such as pelleted aquatic herbicides (fluridone-based products), granular fire ant killers, and general vegetation-control concentrates packaged for field application. Issuing bodies span city departments (Milpitas, Dallas, Hillsborough County), state natural-resources and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Illinois Department of Natural Resources), and county watershed and parks departments (DeKalb County). Cities typically establish multiple blanket purchase awards across supply categories to ensure capacity; state agencies and counties often structure contracts as statewide vehicles or master agreements serving multiple departments and subordinate jurisdictions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services posted an RFP on July 7, 2026 (due August 20, 2026) to establish a statewide vegetation-management contract vehicle for liquid and dry herbicides and related products, with historical annual spending ranging from $914,419 to $3.87 million across state agencies, counties, and special districts; the City of Milpitas issued an IFB on July 17, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for blanket MRO supply orders including park and landscaping maintenance chemicals across a five-year term; the City of Dallas posted an ITB on June 25, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) for a three-year ID/IQ master agreement for agricultural pesticides and herbicides; and the State of Illinois Department of Natural Resources solicited bids for Sonar One aquatic herbicide on May 26, 2026 (due June 3, 2026), a federal-assistance procurement for Great Lakes restoration. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB in April 2026 for quarterly herbicide application services at a wastewater treatment plant. All solicitations require EPA registration compliance and prevailing wage or labor-code adherence where applicable; several include set-asides for certified small businesses or veteran-owned vendors.
