UNSPSC 10171703: Propanil

Selective contact herbicide with a short duration of activity used to control broad-leaved and grass weeds.

UNSPSC 10171703 Propanil is a Commodity code covering herbicide chemical inputs purchased by state and local governments for vegetation management and weed control across facilities, rights-of-way, and operational grounds. The code captures product supply contracts where jurisdictions procure herbicides — both liquid and dry formulations — on an as-needed or blanket-purchase basis, often bundling multiple active ingredients and related adjuvants into single solicitations. State and local buyers under this code include state departments (transportation, criminal justice, enterprise services, natural resources), counties, cities, municipalities, and special-purpose districts managing highway rights-of-way, wastewater treatment facilities, parks, streets, facilities, and forestry lands.

Recent activity spans multiple geographies with heavy concentration in the Southwest and Southeast. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services posted a statewide vegetation management RFP on July 7, 2026, with August 20 response deadline, organizing bidders into three contract categories (WSDOT tested products, related vegetation management products, and utility vegetation control) with historical annual spending of $914,419 to $3.87 million and four-year cumulative spending of $7.77 million across state agencies, counties, and special districts. The City of Milpitas, California, issued IFB 26-229 on July 10, 2026, for five-year blanket purchase orders covering five supply categories including park and landscaping maintenance supplies with herbicide and chemical components; bids were due July 23, 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited Acuron liquid herbicide (IFB IW251187, due July 16, 2026) and general herbicide (IFB IW252260, due July 6, 2026); the City of Dallas solicited three-year ID/IQ master agreements for agricultural pesticides and herbicides (due July 24, 2026) and standalone herbicide purchases (March 2026). Hillsborough County, Florida, bid 41% glyphosate herbicide in June 2026; Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued a Master Agreement RFB for 56-line-item herbicide and adjuvant procurement with February 12, 2026 deadline; the Oregon Department of Administrative Services extended Price Agreement PA 6439 for liquid and dry herbicides (six-month extension January 26 through July 30, 2026) with incumbent vendor Wilbur-Ellis Company, LLC and estimated extension value of $1.78 million. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost heavily or exclusively, with some jurisdictions offering small-business and veteran-business reserved awards and requiring EPA registration, state pesticide licenses, and compliance with state procurement and environmental regulations.
