UNSPSC 70121903: Range research

UNSPSC 70121903 Range research (Commodity) covers grazing management planning, rangeland monitoring frameworks, and habitat assessment services that state and local governments procure to manage wildlife areas and agricultural lands. State and local buyers under this code include wildlife agencies, county agricultural departments, and municipal parks authorities seeking professional rangeland ecology expertise to develop management plans, conduct field monitoring, and produce actionable habitat and grazing recommendations. The scope of work spans comprehensive grazing management planning (including stocking-rate calculations and seasonal timing), rangeland monitoring protocols using standardized assessment platforms and ecological-site classification, and integration of wildlife habitat objectives with sustainable forage use — often requiring credentials in rangeland ecology, wildlife biology, or natural resource management and demonstrated experience with similar projects.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued an RFP (Solicitation S6350000017746, due September 8, 2026) for development of a grazing management plan and monitoring framework for the Minam River Wildlife Area, a 15,000-acre facility in Oregon, requiring MS or PhD-level expertise in rangeland ecology or wildlife biology with a minimum of three years' professional experience and two prior comparable projects. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, issued an RFP (No. 26-28, due May 28, 2026) for farming operations and agricultural management on 409.9 acres of leased farmland at Norristown Farm Park, emphasizing sustainable practices including rotational grazing, organic methods, and soil conservation compliance. Recent opportunities also include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP (No. 27-0010, due September 30, 2026) for on-call irrigation installation and maintenance services across municipal properties in Georgia and the City of College Park's RFI for public works operational assessment — the latter two are tangential to the core range research scope. Activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic, with Oregon and Pennsylvania as identified recent-opportunity jurisdictions.
