UNSPSC 70141804: Crop planting services

UNSPSC 70141804 Crop planting services (Commodity) spans hand planting of trees, shrubs, native vegetation, and specialty crops across reforestation, shoreline adaptation, street tree establishment, and agricultural restoration projects solicited by state environmental and water agencies, county parks and public works departments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. The work includes containerized seedling and tubeling installation at specified spacing, bareroot tree and wiregrass plug planting, seasonal labor and equipment mobilization, one-year establishment-period maintenance or performance warranties, and compliance with applicable prevailing wage or federal grant funding requirements when applicable. Recent opportunities show hand planting of longleaf pine tubelings and wiregrass plugs for reforestation (Northwest Florida Water Management District, ITB 27B-001, September 2026), sagebrush restoration across 296 acres in Utah (State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, IFB FB27100, September 2026), street tree supply and planting for spring 2027 (City of Jackson, Michigan, ENG 25-04C Rebid #2, September 2026), and agricultural crop planting on mitigation lands in the Natomas Basin (Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, RFP 2026-002, September 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Mountain West (Utah, Colorado), and Upper Midwest (Michigan), with scattered municipal procurement in Connecticut and California.

The mix of issuing bodies includes state environmental and wildlife agencies (Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Florida Water Management District, California state flood control agencies), county parks and open space departments (Boulder County Parks & Open Space, Clayton County Georgia), municipalities (City of Jackson Michigan, City of Norwalk Connecticut), and regional water authorities (Northwest Florida Water Management District, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency). The Northwest Florida Water Management District and state wildlife agencies appear as repeat solicitors. Most opportunities are structured as ITBs or RFPs with unit or lump-sum pricing tied to per-acre or per-plant rates; Davis-Bacon Act and prevailing wage compliance is present in federally funded work. Insurance, performance and payment bonds, and references from government or private clients are standard requirements. Contract terms typically extend one to three years, with some municipal contracts offering renewal options subject to cost-of-living adjustments. Bid response dates have passed on most recent postings (September 2026 and earlier); the City of Jackson award is anticipated at the October 20, 2026 City Council meeting.
