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

NIGP 79070 Topsoil and Fill Dirt is an Item code capturing earth materials, aggregates, and fill products that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, landscape, remediation, and recreational projects. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying topsoil, fill dirt, clean soil, native soil mixes, crushed aggregate products, and engineered infield materials for sidewalk and park reconstruction, environmental remediation, landfill operations, water utility work, and athletic field resurfacing. Issuing bodies span city public works and utilities departments (Dallas, St. Petersburg, Arlington, Austin), county transportation and parks divisions (Clackamas County Oregon, Greenville County South Carolina, Boulder County Colorado, Pasco County Florida, DeKalb County Georgia, Salt Lake County Utah), state environmental and transportation agencies (Florida DEP, UDOT, Maryland Environmental Service, California, Texas Railroad Commission, Utah Division of Purchasing), school districts (Parkway School District Missouri), and special-purpose districts (Martin Luther King Corridor Improvement Authority Michigan, District of Columbia). The code sees regular activity from both recurring buyers and one-time event-driven purchases, with contracts ranging from small single deliveries to multi-year supply agreements and large-volume remediation projects.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions with notable activity in Florida, Texas, Maryland, Utah, Colorado, Georgia, and South Carolina. Representative solicitations include the City of Dallas requesting bids for sidewalk replacement with sod and fill work (ITB, November 10, 2026 response due) and an ID/IQ soil remediation and excavation agreement for Dallas Water Utilities (RFP, November 13, 2026); Greenville County requesting infield conversion work on four baseball diamonds with native soil mix amendment and compaction (RFP, September 4, 2026); Clackamas County Oregon requesting aggregate rock products and topsoil on a three-year supply contract (RFQ, October 27, 2026); Maryland Environmental Service soliciting topsoil delivery for landfill cover operations at Brown Station Road (sealed bids, July 15, 2026); and the Railroad Commission of Texas establishing an indefinite-term prequalified vendor pool for abandoned mine land reclamation including fill dirt and earthwork across the state (RFP, May 21, 2026 response due). Set-asides appear regularly—the Maryland landfill screening contract carries a 15 percent MBE goal and Small Business Reserve restriction, and the Texas RFP includes a mandatory HUB subcontracting requirement. Performance bonds, insurance mandates ($1 million general liability floors are common), and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, prevailing wage where applicable) are standard contract conditions.
