UNSPSC 10171506: Humus

Substance composed of certain organic products derived from the decomposition of organic remains

UNSPSC 10171506 Humus, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities—DeKalb County's tennis center reconstruction (IT infrastructure), Pasco County's herbicides and fertilizers procurement, and White County's chemical application services—span IT installation, turf chemical products and application, and grounds maintenance. Only the Pasco County and White County opportunities relate meaningfully to soil amendments or grounds care, and neither centers on humus or organic soil conditioning as the primary deliverable. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement under its stated scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Georgia (DeKalb County and White County) and Florida (Pasco County), with opportunities posted between March and June 2026. The Pasco County IFB for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides (due June 16, 2026) and White County's RFP for chemical application services (due April 2, 2026) are the closest matches to grounds care, but both are tagged to a humus code without justification in the scope of work. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement intent suggests this code may be misapplied by issuing offices or that humus as a standalone product line does not drive material procurement activity among state and local buyers at present.
