NIGP 75045: Dust Control Agents

NIGP 75045 Dust Control Agents, an Item code, encompasses liquid and bagged calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and dust-control blend products that state and local governments apply to unpaved roads and construction sites for erosion and dust suppression. State and local agencies procure these materials through both standalone solicitations and as line items within broader pavement and highway maintenance projects, typically bundling them with related road rehabilitation, striping, and erosion control work. Issuing bodies range from county transportation and public works departments to regional cooperative purchasing programs that aggregate demand across multiple municipalities. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts administers cooperative procurement for 32 Berkshire County municipalities, and Santa Clara County, California issues competitive solicitations for comprehensive expressway rehabilitation projects that include dust and erosion control among other pavement and safety improvements.
