UNSPSC 10171506: Humus

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

UNSPSC 10171506 Humus is a Commodity code covering soil amendments and organic materials used in landscaping, grounds maintenance, and construction applications. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through counties and special districts managing parks, athletic facilities, and public grounds, though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity directly tagged to humus procurement specifically.

The most recent opportunities show a geographic spread across the Southeast, with Pasco County, Florida issuing an IFB-SP-26-074 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis with deliveries to maintenance facilities in New Port Richey and Zephyrhills and a contract period through September 30, 2029, with potential bi-annual price adjustments. DeKalb County, Georgia posted ITB 2026-076-ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Decatur, though the scope description focuses on IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than humus or soil amendment work, suggesting a coding mismatch in the opportunity database. The Pasco County procurement is the more relevant signal for this code—it requires vendors to demonstrate three years in business with at least two comparable prior contracts, comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements, and maintain comprehensive insurance including $2,000,000 general liability coverage; pricing is F.O.B. Destination with all labor, delivery, and hazmat handling included. Local Vendor Preference consideration is available with a Florida Business Tax Receipt. No guaranteed purchase volumes were disclosed, and the county reserves the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
