NIGP 79095: Recycled Seed, Soil, Sod and Inoculants

NIGP 79095 Recycled Seed, Soil, Sod and Inoculants is an Item code covering seed application, soil stabilization, and landscape establishment services that state and local governments deploy across facilities ranging from landfills and drainage infrastructure to parks, athletic facilities, and municipal grounds. The work is grounded in hydroseeding, sodding, seeding, and mulching operations—most commonly for erosion control on slopes, retention ponds, and disturbed sites, and for establishment of vegetation in newly constructed or renovated landscapes. County governments, municipal public works departments, and special-purpose districts (such as flood control districts) drive the majority of solicitation activity. Recent opportunities span Florida counties (Orange County), California counties (Sacramento County), Texas jurisdictions (Harris County Flood Control District), and Georgia state agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries), with work ranging from annual erosion-control contracts at landfills and transfer stations to one-time sodding and seeding installations at parks and municipal facilities.

Representative recent solicitations include Sacramento County's Department of Waste Management and Recycling RFB #2026-RFB-0049 for erosion control services—hydroseeding approximately 6 acres of erosion control mix, 40 acres of native mix, and compost at Kiefer Landfill and related facilities, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held May 27, 2026 and bids due June 11, 2026—and Orange County, Florida's ITB #Y26-154 for Sodding, Seeding, and Mulching services across retention pond slopes, primary canals, and drainage ditches, with sealed bids due May 28, 2026. Harris County Flood Control District's ITB 250397 for supply of native seeds and related items, issued March 27, 2026 with bids due April 20, 2026, targets regional germplasm and certified seed delivery to support District erosion-control and habitat-establishment projects. Sacramento County offers a 5% local business preference and a 2% micro-business preference, and all California work is subject to prevailing wage compliance. Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest with episodic procurements driven by facility maintenance cycles and restoration projects rather than steady recurring demand.
