NIGP 79070: Top Soil and Fill Dirt (for Mulch See Class 335)

NIGP 79070 Topsoil and Fill Dirt, an Item code, represents the supply and delivery of clean fill dirt, topsoil, and related earthwork materials that state and local governments purchase for infrastructure projects, landfill operations, recreational facilities, and landscape restoration work. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying materials ranging from single-event supplies of 400 cubic yards for recreational use to large-scale operations requiring hundreds of thousands of cubic yards for landfill cover, highway base course, stormwater pond management, and bridge replacement projects. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county solid waste and public works divisions, city parks and public works departments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The City of Arlington, Texas; Pasco County and Hillsborough County in Florida; Salt Lake County, Utah; the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT); and the Maryland Environmental Service appear as repeat active buyers, with procurement notice activity concentrated in Florida, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Maryland, and Massachusetts over the past four months.

Recent representative opportunities include the Maryland Environmental Service soliciting up to 450,000 cubic yards of cover soil for Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill (competitive sealed bid, due July 15, 2026); Hillsborough County seeking sand delivery on an as-needed basis to multiple locations for sandbag operations with an estimated three-year contract value of $617,490 (ITB, due March 27, 2026); the City of Arlington requesting fill materials including topsoil, pea gravel, and select fill in an annual requirements contract format (RFQ via Bonfire, due April 30, 2026); and Pasco County soliciting as-needed clean fill dirt to various county locations (ITB, due June 30, 2026). Contracts range from fixed single-event purchases to multi-year open-ended requirements agreements with unit pricing, and most require FOB Destination delivery with material quality certifications, proof of insurance, and compliance with state and federal specifications. Geographic concentration reflects heavy procurement activity in the Southeast and Southwest, with secondary activity in the Mountain West and Mid-Atlantic regions.
