About this file
This is a specification document for fertilizer procurement issued by the SHACOG Purchasing Alliance on behalf of its member municipalities in Pennsylvania. The document outlines detailed specifications for 42 distinct fertilizer products required for golf course and grounds maintenance use, including both liquid formulations (such as Floratine products in 2.5-gallon containers) and granular products (primarily 40- to 50-pound bags) with varying nutrient compositions ranging from 0-0-50 potassium products to high-nitrogen formulations up to 44-0-0. Bids for the 2026 Spring Commodities procurement, which includes fertilizers among other commodities such as road aggregates, asphalt, chemicals, and landscape materials, are due by 10:00 A.M. on April 9, 2026, via the PennBid electronic bidding platform. Bidding documents became available March 19, 2026. Delivery of fertilizer orders must occur within seven working days of order placement, with products to be separately wrapped in plastic, loaded on pallets, and unloaded and positioned as directed by the participating municipality.
All products listed contain a "NO Substitution Permitted" designation, requiring bidders to submit exact products and specifications as listed. Bidders must provide product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) upon municipal request. A bid bond of $1,000 is required with each bid submission and must be made payable to "SHACOG Purchasing Alliance and Its Participating Municipalities." Bidders must indicate the validity dates of their proposed prices; failure to specify validity dates automatically establishes a minimum validity period of 160 calendar days from the bid opening date. Economic price adjustments are permitted as outlined in the General Instructions to Bidders, but no other price adjustments or surcharges, including fuel surcharges, may be imposed during the contract period. Bidders may submit proposals on any or all of the listed commodities, and the member municipalities reserve the right to reject any or all bids or waive minor discrepancies when deemed in their best interest.
