NIGP 95845: Forestry Management Services (Including Inventory, Monitoring, Extension, Pest Control, etc.)

NIGP 95845 Forestry Management Services (Including Inventory, Monitoring, Extension, Pest Control, Etc.) is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit a mix of tree assessment, invasive species control, vegetation management, and pest suppression work. Recent opportunities show municipalities and state agencies buying LiDAR-based tree canopy analysis and geodatabase development, right-of-way vegetation trimming under energized power lines, invasive plant treatment with performance guarantees, hazardous fuels reduction, pre-commercial thinning, and forestry-related pest control. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, county natural resources and parks divisions, state forestry and environmental agencies, special districts (electric cooperatives, college systems), and transit-adjacent authorities. Repeat procurement activity appears among Florida municipalities and state departments, Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources, and county governments in Georgia and the broader Southeast.

Recent opportunities include the City of Pooler, Georgia's RFP (due November 6, 2026) for city-wide tree canopy coverage assessment using LiDAR and drone technology with ISA certification requirements; the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's multi-step sealed bid process (prequalification deadline November 6, 2026) for invasive plant control, forestry services, and land management across 200–400 acres with 90 percent density-reduction performance standards and native plantings at no additional cost if survival targets are not met; Glades Electric Cooperative's RFP (due April 23, 2026, through VendorLink) for right-of-way vegetation trimming across four jobs totaling over 2.3 million linear feet of transmission line clearance; and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' bid (due August 18, 2026) for treatment of non-native Phragmites across 604 sites statewide. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (multiple counties and municipalities), Georgia (state and local agencies), Minnesota, and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington). Work spans municipal parks and facilities, utility rights-of-way, watershed and natural area restoration, disaster recovery, and fuel reduction on public lands.
