UNSPSC 10171802: Inorganic soil conditioner

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

UNSPSC 10171802 Inorganic soil conditioner (Commodity) encompasses landscape and site stabilization materials that state and local governments source for erosion control, landfill operations, grounds maintenance, and stormwater infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show this code capturing orders for mulch (hardwood and engineered wood fiber), compost and erosion control seed mixes, landfill cover material, and odor control media refurbishment at waste and utility facilities. School districts, county waste management departments, cities, and special-purpose park authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest and scattered across municipalities nationwide. State and local procurement offices typically issue these as IFB or RFP notices on blanket purchase orders, competitive bid vehicles, or as part of longer-term qualified vendor lists, with response cycles of two to four weeks.

Recent representative opportunities include Parkway School District (Missouri) seeking hardwood mulch and engineered wood fiber on a blanket PO basis with estimated annual spend of approximately $50,000 (IFB 2740, response due September 17, 2026); Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling soliciting erosion control services via hydroseeding at multiple landfill and transfer station facilities totaling approximately 50 acres and requiring general liability insurance of $2,000,000 per occurrence (RFB 2026-RFB-0049, response due June 11, 2026); Sarasota County requesting odor control mulch bed media refurbishment and replacement across nine Public Utility vacuum stations under a five-year term with annual maintenance and hydrogen sulfide testing requirements (IFB 262888RM, response due August 7, 2026); the City of Savannah soliciting landfill cover material through competitive bid (Event No. 12445, response due August 4, 2026); and Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department establishing a multi-year qualified vendor list for aggregates, erosion control supplies, and landscape materials to support project-by-project work orders (SOQ 28626, response due May 27, 2026). Activity spans California, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Colorado, and South Carolina, with no single region dominating the market.
