NIGP 95830: Crop Management Services (Including Production, Protection, etc.)

NIGP 95830 Crop Management Services (Including Production, Protection, Etc.), an Item code, covers herbicide and weed control application, invasive plant and aquatic vegetation management, pest treatment, and fertilizer application services that state and local governments procure for parks, roadways, wildlife areas, water management sites, and other public properties. Recent solicitations show city and county governments, state transportation and natural resources departments, water management districts, and school districts actively buying under this code, with California, Florida, and Utah emerging as primary procurement centers. The City of South Jordan issued an RFP in July 2026 for weed control services on 161.62 acres of municipal properties (due July 29, 2026), requiring three annual spray treatments and all-inclusive pricing covering materials, labor, equipment rental, and insurance. The St. Johns River Water Management District (Florida) posted multiple opportunities including mechanical aquatic vegetation shredding (due July 8, 2026, estimated $200,000 over three years) and manual cutting with herbicide treatment at Lake Monroe Conservation Area (due June 11, 2026, budgeted at $40,000). Caltrans issued an IFB for pre-emergent and contact herbicide application across 1,200 acres in San Diego County (due July 2, 2026) with small business and DVBE preferences available.

Activity spans a mix of issuing bodies: state transportation departments (Caltrans, FDOT, UDOT), state wildlife and agriculture agencies (CDFA, FDACS, CDFW), water management districts (St. Johns River WMD), counties (Baltimore, Cecil), cities (South Jordan, Peoria), and school districts (Jordan USD, Paradise Valley USD). The California Department of Food and Agriculture solicited bids for Asian Citrus Psyllid treatment across three counties (Kern, Fresno, Kings) with mandatory 3% DVBE participation and substantial equipment and personnel standby requirements (due June 24, 2026). Small business set-asides and DVBE participation goals are common in California and Florida procurements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in California, Florida, and Utah, with secondary activity in Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, and Georgia. Contract values range from $40,000 single-project assignments to $25 million potential five-year agreements for large-scale aquatic vegetation control. Most solicitations require herbicide applicator licensing, commercial general liability insurance ($1–$2 million), workers' compensation, and demonstrated experience with similar projects. Payment structures vary from fixed per-acre rates to hourly labor billing and cost-reimbursable arrangements. Activity appears robust and sustained across multiple seasons and jurisdictions, indicating consistent government spending on vegetation management and pest control throughout the procurement year.
