NIGP 79034: Seed Peanuts

NIGP 79034 Seed Peanuts, an Item code, describes agricultural seed products for planting; state and local governments procure seed peanuts primarily through departments of agriculture, cooperative extension services, and educational institutions supporting agricultural research and demonstration programs. The code covers seed stock for crop production, varietal testing, and agronomic research at university extension farms and state agricultural facilities. However, the most recent state and local opportunity posted under this code does not reflect peanut seed procurement — the DeKalb County ITB 2026-076-ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park, Decatur, Georgia (bids due July 13, 2026) solicits IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure installation, including conduit, cabling, raceways, testing, and documentation to DeKalb County Department of Innovation and Technology standards, a scope unrelated to agricultural commodities.

The disconnect between the NIGP code definition and the recent opportunity suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a mislabeled solicitation record. The peanut seed code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its intended commodity scope in the available data. Business development professionals should verify current procurement activity under this code directly with state departments of agriculture and university cooperative extension systems in target regions before committing pursuit resources, as the posted opportunities may not accurately reflect actual buying patterns for agricultural seed products.
