UNSPSC 70141803: Crop cultivating services

UNSPSC 70141803 Crop cultivating services is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of agricultural land operations, including site preparation, planting, maintenance, and vegetation management across parks, transportation rights-of-way, environmental mitigation lands, and municipal green infrastructure. The code reflects a mix of direct cultivation contracts—such as street tree planting, shrub installation, and hydroseeding—alongside agricultural leasing arrangements where public bodies retain operational oversight of lands managed for habitat, flood control, or environmental remediation. State and local governments issuing under this code include county flood control agencies, municipalities, parks and open-space districts, and regional transit authorities. Recent solicitations show counties and cities procuring tree and shrub supply-and-plant work, specialized ecological restoration (non-herbicide vegetation management), and agricultural production leases tied to regulatory compliance and habitat conservation obligations.

Geographic activity clusters in California, Georgia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency's RFP 2026-002 for agricultural leases across approximately 460 acres in the Natomas Basin (northwestern Sacramento County and southeastern Sutter County), with proposals due September 18, 2026, where lessees manage low-growing crops to provide foraging habitat for Swainson's hawk under Endangered Species Act mitigation requirements; the City of Jackson, Michigan's ITB ENG 25-04C for furnishing, delivering, planting, and maintaining approximately 200 street trees across 15 species for spring 2027 planting, with proposals due September 30, 2026 and contract term through October 31, 2029; and Clayton County, Georgia's ITB #26-60 for annual hydroseeding services across roadways, parks, rights-of-way, and environmental restoration sites, with proposals due June 16, 2026. Boulder County Parks and Open Space issued an RFI (non-binding information request) in May 2026 for non-herbicide cheatgrass control methods across 800 acres, signaling future procurement interest in specialized vegetation management.
