UNSPSC 70141603: Weed control services

UNSPSC 70141603 Weed control services is a Commodity code encompassing spray applications, mechanical removal, and chemical treatments for vegetation management on public lands, rights-of-way, and facility grounds. State and local governments procure these services to maintain turf and landscape areas, suppress noxious weeds on conservation and recreational properties, and manage vegetation growth on utility and transportation corridors. Work ranges from routine seasonal applications on municipal parks and office grounds to specialized treatments on highway medians, wildlife management areas, and water districts' canal systems, with contractors typically required to hold current commercial pesticide applicator licenses and provide all labor, equipment, and materials under all-inclusive unit or lump-sum pricing. Recent solicitations show municipalities, state resource agencies, transportation departments, and special districts as primary buyers, with repeat activity from state departments of transportation and departments managing natural resources and public lands.

Recent opportunities span the continental United States with active procurement in California, Florida, Utah, Texas, and Georgia.
