UNSPSC 70141903: Field crop harvesting services

UNSPSC 70141903 Field crop harvesting services is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement for agricultural land leasing, crop production management, and related land stewardship services. Recent opportunities show state and local governments contracting for hay and commodity crop production rights on public agricultural lands, organic fruit and vegetable production leases, and livestock grazing operations on open-space properties. The issuing bodies include county parks and open-space departments, state wildlife agencies, and county agricultural authorities across multiple states. Boulder County Parks & Open Space in Colorado and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are the most active buyers in the recent record, each issuing multiple agricultural lease solicitations over the past four months.

Geographic activity clusters in Colorado (Boulder County), Florida (Apalachee Wildlife Management Area and Pinellas County), Georgia (GDOT environmental support and state agriculture facility utility work), and Connecticut (Norwalk municipal landscaping). Representative recent opportunities include Boulder County's RFP-274-26 James Construction Agricultural Lease (31 acres, organic fruit and vegetable production, RFP posted April 10, 2026, due May 8, 2026), Boulder County's AHI Agricultural Lease (756 acres, hay, forage, and commodity crop production, RFP posted March 27, 2026, due April 21, 2026), and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's farm lease on Apalachee Wildlife Management Area in Jackson County (395.9 acres, soybean, peanut, corn, and small grain production, ITB posted March 30, 2026, with bid opening April 24, 2026). However, the code shows material misalignment with its nominal scope: several recent opportunities tagged under this code—including GDOT environmental support services, utility upgrades at the Georgia Agriculture Terminal, Norwalk tree and shrub planting, Pinellas County dune planting, and Boulder County cheatgrass control—involve environmental services, landscaping, infrastructure, or invasive species management rather than field crop harvesting. The code's recent state and local activity appears to center on agricultural land leasing rather than harvest operations per se.
