UNSPSC 70141800: Crop planting and cultivation

UNSPSC 70141800 Crop planting and cultivation is a Class code under which state and local governments procure native plant propagation, seedling growing, tree and shrub planting and supply, reforestation and groundcover restoration, habitat restoration handplanting, and agricultural land management. The work spans contract nursery services for shrub and tree seedlings grown to specification, street tree furnishing and installation with multi-year maintenance, large-scale ecological restoration planting (sagebrush, longleaf pine, wiregrass), and agricultural lease management on conservation lands. Issuing bodies include state wildlife and natural resource agencies (Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Northwest Florida Water Management District), county planning and sustainability departments (Santa Clara County, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, Orange County), cities (Jackson Michigan, Norwalk Connecticut), water management districts, and regional environmental authorities. Recent work reflects growing state and local investment in coastal adaptation planning, native plant supply chains, reforestation after disturbance, and habitat mitigation tied to Endangered Species Act compliance.

Activity concentrates in California, Utah, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Michigan, and Colorado. Representative recent solicitations include the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' IFB for 10,000 native shrub seedlings (Wyoming Big Sagebrush, Mountain Big Sagebrush, Antelope Bitterbrush) grown in PL 50 plugs with delivery and payment spread October 2027 through April 2028 (response deadline October 22, 2026); the City of Jackson Michigan's RFP for furnishing, delivery, planting, and one-year maintenance of approximately 200 street trees across 37 specified species, Davis-Bacon Act compliant, with spring 2027 planting and contract renewal through October 2029 (response due September 30, 2026); the Northwest Florida Water Management District's ITB for hand planting of approximately 120,395 longleaf pine tubelings and 300,000 wiregrass plugs across 481 acres, work January-March 2027 (response due September 24, 2026); and the County of Orange RFP for California native container plant supply and custom propagation of 83 species in multiple sizes, three-year initial term with two-year renewal options and local small business preference (5–8% cost adjustment for OCLSB or DVBE certification). The State of Utah also awarded Silhouette Farm & Forestry LLC a contract for sagebrush restoration handplanting at $219.58 per acre across 296 acres (October-December 2026), and the Northwest Florida Water Management District awarded the hand planting services ITB to Express Forestry Service, LLC at $29,478.97 (bid opened September 24, 2026).
