UNSPSC 70141902: Fruit or tree nuts harvesting services

UNSPSC 70141902 Fruit or tree nuts harvesting services is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of harvesting labor, equipment deployment, and berry or fruit collection services across agricultural and public lands. Recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting contractors to harvest saw palmetto berries on state training grounds, lease agricultural land for crop production on flood-control properties where harvesting is incidental to farming operations, and supply and plant street trees where the nursery stock and installation dominate the scope far more than any harvesting activity. The code's nominal title does not align consistently with what is actually being bought; recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect a mix of forestry and grounds maintenance (tree and shrub planting at municipal sites), invasive species control (cheatgrass management), agricultural leasing (crop production including harvest rights), and specialized berry harvest contracts.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state departments of military affairs and transportation, county parks and open space departments, county flood-control agencies, and municipal governments. The State of Florida Department of Military Affairs posted an ITB on July 30, 2026 for saw palmetto berry harvest and removal at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, with bids due August 13, 2026 and a two-month contract term beginning August 20, 2026; compensation is per pound of berries removed, with no state expenditure. The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency issued an RFP on September 21, 2026 for agricultural leases across 460 acres in the Natomas Basin (northwestern Sacramento County and southeastern Sutter County), proposals due September 18, 2026, with lease terms through December 31, 2031. The City of Norwalk, Connecticut posted a proposal request on July 15, 2026 for tree and shrub supply and planting at various municipal locations, due August 4, 2026. Geographic activity spans Florida, California, Connecticut, Georgia, and Colorado, with recent opportunities concentrated in the Southeast and West. The code shows limited true harvesting activity; most recent opportunities are either agricultural leasing with harvest embedded, tree and shrub planting with no harvest component, or vegetation management where harvesting is not the primary driver.
