NIGP 79005: Desert Plant Seeds

NIGP 79005 Desert Plant Seeds is an Item code, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not involve desert plant seeds at all. The City of Tucson's QVL for Green Stormwater Infrastructure Landscape Maintenance (Solicitation 250123, due Apr 10, 2030) solicits specialized landscape and maintenance services for GSI assets including inlets, outlets, earthworks, basins, berms, swales, and associated vegetation—covering routine maintenance, certified herbicide application, rainwater harvesting cistern maintenance, consultation and outreach, GSI reconstruction, manual or truck watering, and irrigation system oversight and repair. The DeKalb County ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center (ITB 2026-076-ITB, due Jul 13, 2026) addresses information technology and low-voltage infrastructure installation, including conduit, cabling, raceways, testing, and documentation—work entirely outside the desert plant seeds category. No issuing bodies soliciting desert plant seeds appear in the recent opportunities block, indicating minimal or no current state and local procurement activity under this code.

The source provides no evidence of geographic spread, repeat buyers, or representative recent solicitations for desert plant seeds. A single verified signal exists: state and local governments are not actively soliciting or purchasing desert plant seeds through formal NIGP 79005 procurement channels as of July 2026.
