NIGP 95802: Agricultural Management Services (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 95802 Agricultural Management Services (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses timber harvesting operations, forestland restoration services, agricultural land leasing, and specialized vegetation management for state forests and conservation areas. State and local governments procure timber sales ranging from selective thinnings to clearcuts and salvage operations on certified sustainable forestlands; floating aquatic vegetative treatment systems for environmental remediation; agricultural leases on mitigation lands with habitat conservation requirements; and goat-browsing pilot programs for wildfire fuel reduction and noxious weed control. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service dominates the recent activity, posting multiple sealed-bid timber sales monthly, while the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, Boulder County Parks and Open Space, and the Texas Department of Agriculture represent wider geographic and programmatic diversity in conservation and land stewardship work. Issuing bodies include state resource departments, county conservation districts, and regional flood-control authorities seeking specialized agricultural and land-management services tied to regulatory compliance, habitat restoration, or operational efficiency.

The code sees concentrated activity in Florida, where the Forest Service has advertised at least fifteen timber sales since May 2026 across state forests in Volusia, Franklin, Santa Rosa, Levy, Marion, Clay, Taylor, and Hendry counties, with sealed-bid ITB notices and response windows typically spanning two to six weeks. The Patterson Loop 26/27 Timber Sale (Florida Forest Service ITB17186, due October 28, 2026) represents a representative mid-scale operation: 254 acres, 1,427 tons of pine pulpwood and 165 tons of eucalyptus pulpwood, eighteen-month contract term, sealed bids at $10,941 Palm Beach Boulevard, Fort Myers. Outside Florida, the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency issued RFP 2026-002 for agricultural leases across 460 acres in the Natomas Basin (seven properties, 26 to 202 acres each, responses due September 18, 2026), with lease rates ranging from $100 per planted acre to 15 percent of gross crop proceeds and five-year terms beginning January 1, 2027. The code activity also includes environmental remediation—Florida FDACS single-source agreement with Water and Soil Solutions, LLC for $5.7 million to $6 million floating aquatic tilling in Arbuckle Creek (notice posted October 2, 2026, responses due October 23, 2026)—and pest and fire mitigation, exemplified by Boulder County's RFP for goat browsing across 89.4 acres in noxious-weed and wildfire-fuel-reduction zones (RFP-288-26, mandatory pre-proposal meeting May 18, 2026, bids due May 28, 2026). Contract terms range from six months (salvage operations with rapid-response requirements) to five years (agricultural leases), and performance locations span multiple counties within a single state or across regional flood-management districts.
