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 is a Commodity code covering nitrogen-based fertilizer products for turf and landscape maintenance at state and local facilities. State and local governments procure ammonium nitrate and related fertilizer formulations to support grounds maintenance at parks, athletic facilities, rights-of-way, and municipal turf properties. The recent solicitations show demand for both standalone nitrogen fertilizers and integrated vegetation-management product suites, with municipalities buying on an as-needed basis over multi-year terms. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal parks departments and township grounds maintenance operations. Municipalities typically award these contracts with line-item optionality and reserve the right to split awards across multiple bidders based on product quality and price.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Peoria, Arizona issued an IFB (P260071) in June 2026 for fertilizer and chemical products to support maintenance across the Peoria Sports Complex, Rio Vista Community Park, Pioneer Community Park, Paloma Community Park, city rights-of-way, and neighborhood parks, with response due July 3, 2026. Pennsauken Township, New Jersey posted an IFB (2026BID12) in August 2026 for turf supplies including fertilizers, sand mixes, compost, and drainage stone to serve the Pennsauken Country Club on a two-year contract with extension options, with bids due August 27, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Both solicitations require delivery included in pricing, compliance with detailed technical specifications, and submission of Safety Data Sheets where applicable.
