UNSPSC 10171801: Organic soil conditioner

A product used to improve the organic properties of soil to be appropriate for plant growth.

UNSPSC 10171801 Organic soil conditioner is a Commodity code encompassing soil amendments, mulch products, and composting-related materials that state and local governments procure for landscaping maintenance, erosion control, landfill operations, and organic waste management. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span mulching services for administrative buildings and parks, odor-control mulch refurbishment at utility stations, bulk landscape material supply, composting equipment parts and maintenance, biosolids land application, erosion control seeding operations, and residential food waste collection infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county waste management and environmental departments, municipal parks and recreation services, water utility authorities, and county sustainability offices. The scope of work reflects a mix of supply-and-delivery contracts for finished mulch, topsoil, compost materials, and aggregate products; ongoing maintenance services such as mulch bed refurbishment, aerating, and turning; equipment maintenance and parts supply for composting machinery; and application services including hydroseeding for erosion control and land application of biosolids. Several jurisdictions solicit these services on recurring annual or multi-year bases, indicating established operational programs rather than one-time acquisitions.
