UNSPSC 70111711: Sprigging services

UNSPSC 70111711 Sprigging services, a Commodity code, encompasses soil preparation, turf establishment, and related grounds work that state and local governments procure to establish or restore grass coverage on designated sites. Recent state and local solicitations show that "sprigging services" as named in the code is rarely purchased directly; instead, jurisdictions use this code to tag opportunities for broader landscape and grounds maintenance that includes turf establishment, sod installation, seed application, and grass establishment as components of larger site work. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fertilizer-and-application bids under related commodity codes, and state and local bodies across the country are soliciting tree planting, landscape improvement, grounds maintenance, and erosion-stabilization work where turf establishment or grass seeding appears as one line item within a comprehensive scope.

Recent opportunities show activity across state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The issuing bodies include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple fertilizer-and-application IFBs in July 2026), East Mississippi State Hospital, Walton County Florida, the City of Norwalk Connecticut, the City of Fort Worth, Marion County Oregon, Fayette County Georgia (erosion stabilization with hydro seeding and permanent grassing), the City of Jackson Michigan (street tree planting with establishment and maintenance), Collier County Florida (regional park development with extensive sod and native plantings at $31 million budget), and the City of Amarillo (landscape and site construction for a public improvement district). Geographic distribution spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, Michigan, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Walton County, Florida's multi-use path maintenance (ITB 26-20, due August 6, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's citywide alleyway grounds maintenance (RFP 260229, due August 6, 2026 with 30% small business participation goal), Fayette County Georgia's erosion stabilization with permanent seeding and HPTRM installation (ITB 27001-B, due July 28, 2026), and Collier County's $31 million Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park Phase 2B project (due May 11, 2026) featuring large-scale landscaping with approximately 1.3 million square feet of Bahia grass sod plus native plantings. The code shows modest recent activity focused on turf establishment as a secondary component within larger grounds-maintenance and site-development contracts rather than as a standalone procurement line item.
