NIGP 810: Spraying Equipment, Except Household, Nursery Plant, and Paint

NIGP 810 Spraying Equipment, Except Household, Nursery Plant, and Paint is a Class code covering chemical application equipment and vehicles—chiefly herbicide and pesticide sprayers, deicing applicators, and related mounted systems—that state and local governments purchase for vegetation management, airfield operations, and fleet maintenance. State and local agencies procuring under this code include cities, counties, airport authorities, and special districts seeking specialized application vehicles and equipment with integrated spray systems, chemical storage, and delivery controls. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties building out fleets of truck-mounted herbicide sprayers, deicing applicators for airfield use, and all-inclusive spray rigs for roadside weed control, typically specified to original-equipment standards with manufacturer warranties and operator training included.

Recent activity spans the South and Southwest with particular concentration in Florida and Kansas. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600339 (Herbicide Spraying and Planting Services, $544,532.50 estimated value, three-year term, bids due August 3, 2026) requiring Florida Department of Agriculture Commercial Applicator licensure and state-approved herbicides for invasive species control at drainage structures and mitigation sites. The City of Wichita issued RFB 260109 (16,000 GVW Super Cab and Chassis with Herbicide Spray Rig, bids due May 29, 2026) specifying a Raven Viper 4+ injection-style roadside sprayer with manufacturer-trained service technician availability within 24 hours and three-year warranty, and separately procured RFB 260202 (Airfield Liquid Anti-Icing/Deicing Chemical Applicator Vehicle, 4,000-gallon capacity, bids due August 28, 2026) on behalf of the Wichita Airport Authority under Buy American certification requirements with 500-calendar-day delivery and $500-per-day liquidated damages for delay. The City of Owensboro, Kentucky included herbicide and insecticide applications among 32 service categories in RFB 4491 (on-call technical services, bids due September 3, 2026) requiring state licensure and hourly rate pricing. Larger regional cooperative purchasing also appears: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas solicited catalog discount bids on paint and painting supplies (PAINT2628, $10.293 million estimated over two years, bids due September 29, 2026) as a successor bid involving 21 vendors, reflecting multi-jurisdictional bundling of related consumables and supplies.
