UNSPSC 10171606: Pure silica fertilizer

A fertilizer that has the soluble silicate as the main ingredient.

UNSPSC 10171606 Pure silica fertilizer, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of granular and blended fertilizers for parks, wildlife areas, and turf maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing standard nitrogen-based and compound fertilizers—ammonium sulfate, granular blends in bags up to 50 pounds, and custom formulations—delivered to county parks, wildlife management areas, and municipal maintenance facilities. Issuing bodies include state natural-resource agencies, county parks and recreation departments, and county stormwater and mosquito-control divisions. Most solicitations are quoted on an as-needed or seasonal basis with F.O.B. destination delivery, firm pricing for 30 to 12 months, and vendor registration or supplier-list requirements. Counties impose insurance, debarment-certification, and Material Safety Data Sheet compliance. Some jurisdictions offer local-vendor preferences or small-business set-asides.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, and Florida. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife solicited up to 32 tons of fertilizer for Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area with a September 30, 2026 response deadline via an intermediate procurement quote. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an Informal Written Quote on May 13, 2026 for 840 50-pound bags of 34-0-0 ammonium sulfate across 15 park delivery sites, due May 20, 2026. Pasco County, Florida posted an Invitation for Bid on May 12, 2026 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis through September 30, 2029, with responses due June 16, 2026. A fourth opportunity—Pinellas County's April 23, 2026 aerial larvicide application services—sits outside the pure silica fertilizer scope despite the code assignment. Activity remains episodic; volumes are typically small to moderate, and response windows are short.
