UNSPSC 10171618: Triple superphosphate fertilizer

Triple superphosphate is a component of fertilizer that primarily consists of monocalcium phosphate, Ca(H2PO4)2. Triple superphosphate is obtained by treating phosphate rock with phosphoric acid. ... Many fertilizers are derived from triple superphosphate, e.g. by blending with ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride.

UNSPSC 10171618 Triple superphosphate fertilizer is a Commodity code that describes single-nutrient granular fertilizer products state and local governments procure for agricultural operations, parks maintenance, and sports turf programs. The recent state-local opportunities supporting this code show little actual demand for triple superphosphate as a named product; instead, jurisdictions are purchasing broader fertilizer services and mixed-nutrient formulations. The code sees minimal recent solicitation activity tied directly to its nominal scope.

State and local governments buying under this code are primarily counties, cities, and special-purpose districts managing agricultural facilities, parks, and athletic fields. When fertilizer procurement does appear in recent notices, it typically bundles pest control, weed management, and turf maintenance into integrated landscape-services contracts rather than purchasing fertilizer alone. The geographic spread is limited; recent activity appears concentrated in Florida (Walton County, Collier County) and scattered jurisdictions in other states, with no clear pattern of repeat buying under this specific code. A search of the recent opportunities reveals no solicitations explicitly requesting triple superphosphate by name or grade—the code assignment appears misaligned with current state and local purchasing patterns for granular fertilizer products.
