UNSPSC 10171601: Ammonium nitrate fertilizer

An important fertiliser with NPK rating (34% nitrogen), it is less concentrated than urea and does not lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.

UNSPSC 10171601 Ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a Commodity code, covers nitrogen-based fertilizers that state and local governments procure for turf and landscape maintenance at parks, sports facilities, rights-of-way, and municipal grounds. The code captures a narrow product category within the broader vegetation management supply stream — specifically ammonium nitrate formulations used to support grass and turf health across public properties. Cities and counties use this code when soliciting competitive bids for routine fertilizer replenishment tied to seasonal maintenance schedules. The work is transactional and performance-based: vendors supply the product to specification, and government grounds crews apply it according to maintenance calendars.

The City of Peoria, Arizona posted an IFB (P260071) on June 12, 2026, seeking fertilizer and chemical products — including fertilizers within this commodity scope — to support maintenance of the Peoria Sports Complex, Rio Vista Community Park, Pioneer Community Park, Paloma Community Park, city rights-of-way, and neighborhood parks throughout Maricopa County, with bids due July 3, 2026. This represents the primary recent activity under the code in the available data. Arizona shows current demand; the source provides insufficient depth to characterize geographic spread across additional states or to identify repeat buyers beyond Peoria. The solicitation format — competitive bid for packaged supplies — reflects typical municipal procurement under this code, though the recent-opportunities block shows limited recent volume to assess whether the code is actively pursued across multiple jurisdictions or concentrated in isolated park-maintenance cycles.
