UNSPSC 70131502: Soil conservation or protection services

UNSPSC 70131502 Soil conservation or protection services (Commodity) captures erosion control, streambank stabilization, slope repair, and related earth-stabilization work that state and local governments procure for parks, utility corridors, flood mitigation, airport infrastructure, and environmental restoration. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying retaining wall construction, riprap and stone protection installation, turf reinforcement matting, hydroseeding, boardwalk bank stabilization, and sediment-removal services—often paired with drainage improvements, grading, or site restoration. The code spans both standalone erosion-control projects and soil-protection components within larger infrastructure contracts.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida DEP, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources), counties (Bulloch, Gwinnett, Seminole, Columbia, Williamson), cities (Fort Worth, Olathe, Casselberry, Cedar Park, San Antonio, Atlanta, Charlotte), school districts (Pinellas County), and regional authorities (Atlanta BeltLine, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Texas General Land Office). Fort Worth and Atlanta BeltLine appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent opportunities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky, with secondary activity in Utah, Kansas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Fort Worth's PW 2025 Bridge Scour Mitigation Project (IFB, bids due August 27, 2026) soliciting riprap installation at two bridge sites; the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' Goslin Creek Zeedyk-Structure Contractor project (RFSQ, qualifications due October 19, 2026) for in-stream erosion-control structures; the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Madison Blue Spring Retaining Wall project (IFB, bids due October 6, 2026) specifying rock gabion wall construction; and Bulloch County's Anderson Cemetery Road Drainage and Paving Project (ITB, bids due October 16, 2026) combining erosion control and grading with drainage and asphalt work. Multiple jurisdictions are issuing addenda to clarify material specifications and bond requirements, indicating active pre-award question cycles. The code shows steady state and local procurement momentum with near-term bid deadlines spanning September through December 2026.
