UNSPSC 70121700: Livestock management

UNSPSC 70121700 Livestock management is a Class code encompassing grazing plan development, rangeland monitoring, and agricultural operations management on public lands and facilities. State and local governments use this code to solicit services for habitat restoration through grazing optimization, inventory of carrying capacity, rangeland condition assessment, and coordination of livestock use with wildlife protection and weed control. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sought a comprehensive grazing management plan for the Minam River Wildlife Area covering 15,000 acres with Animal Unit Month calculations, virtual fencing recommendations, and a monitoring framework using Rangeland Analysis Platform and SageCon tools; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued an RFP for a farming lessee to operate approximately 410 acres of cropland and hay land at Norristown Farm Park with emphasis on sustainable practices, crop rotation, and rotational grazing. Issuing bodies under the code include state wildlife agencies and county park or natural resources departments. The code saw limited posting activity in the reviewed window; three of four opportunities shown relate to agricultural leasing or operational assessment rather than discrete livestock management services, suggesting some mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current procurement patterns.

Recent opportunities concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Minam River RFP (S6350000017746, due September 8, 2026) prioritized rangeland ecology and wildlife biology credentials with Society for Range Management certifications preferred, requiring three years of professional experience and two prior comparable projects, with draft deliverables due January 15, 2027 and final reports by February 15, 2027. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Norristown Farm Park RFP (26-28, due May 28, 2026) sought an agricultural operator on a one-year initial term with up to nine additional one-year renewal options, requiring three references for similar projects and emphasizing Community Supported Agriculture operations, organic practices with cover crops and rotational grazing, and mandatory soil testing at contract award and every three years. The Oregon opportunity allocated 100 evaluation points across Project Understanding, Experience, Approach to Project, and Cost in equal proportion and encouraged small business and minority-owned enterprise participation.
