NIGP 79054: Soil Mixtures (Special)

NIGP 79054 Soil Mixtures (Special), an Item code, encompasses specialized soil products and application services that state and local governments procure for athletic field construction, landscape restoration, and grounds stabilization. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for ballfield infield clay and conditioner, hydroseeding with soil amendments and mulch, and grass seed varieties for turf establishment. The work ranges from material supply (seed and soil products) to full-service installation including site preparation, grading, seeding, and vegetative establishment with performance guarantees. Issuing bodies span municipal parks departments, county public works and recreation divisions, and county transportation authorities. Cities and counties represent the primary buyers under this code, with no evidence of state-level or school-district procurement in the recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South. Clayton County, Georgia issued an ITB for hydroseeding services on an annual contract basis (bid due June 16, 2026) with five-year experience requirements and 90-day vegetative-coverage guarantees across roadways, parks, and disturbed areas. The City of DeBary, Florida solicited complete infield renovation at Bill Keller Park (sealed bid due April 24, 2018) including new clay, conditioner, laser grading, sod installation, and pitcher's mound construction for youth baseball facilities at approximately $121,000. The City of Lubbock, Texas issued two separate RFQs (due July 16, 2026) for Jose Wheat Grass Seed and Beardless Wheat Seed VNS with minimal additional specification detail in the available source. DeKalb County, Georgia's June 2026 ITB for tennis center reconstruction mentions IT infrastructure rather than soil-mixture scope, and appears misclassified under this code.
