UNSPSC 70142003: Crop processing services

UNSPSC 70142003 Crop processing services is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice spans planning, site preparation, planting, and maintenance of trees and shrubs for municipalities and special districts, along with agricultural land leasing tied to habitat conservation and invasive species management. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, cities, regional flood control agencies, and parks and open space authorities. Work ranges from street tree furnishing, delivery, and establishment-period maintenance (as with the City of Jackson's 200-tree spring 2027 planting project) to multi-year agricultural leases on conservation lands (Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency's seven-property Natomas Basin agricultural leasing RFP), hydroseeding for roadway medians and environmental restoration (Clayton County's annual hydroseeding contract ITB), and non-herbicide cheatgrass control across large natural lands (Boulder County Parks & Open Space's 800-acre RFI). The code also captures broader environmental planning work tied to adaptation and site management, as evidenced by Santa Clara County's Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan RFP. Tree and shrub procurement appears most frequently, with multiple recent solicitations from municipalities seeking supply and installation services.

Recent activity clusters in California, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the City of Jackson, Michigan's IFB for street tree purchase and planting (response due September 30, 2026) under USDA grant funding with Davis-Bacon Act wage compliance; Clayton County, Georgia's annual hydroseeding services ITB (response due June 16, 2026) requiring five years of verifiable experience and 90-percent vegetative coverage guarantees; the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency's agricultural lease RFP for the Natomas Basin (response due September 18, 2026) requiring two years of production experience and conservation-practice credentials; and Santa Clara County's shoreline adaptation planning RFP (response due November 6, 2026) spanning vulnerability assessment and multi-jurisdictional coordination. Boulder County, Colorado issued an RFI (not a formal procurement) on non-herbicide cheatgrass management across 800 acres to inform future pilot or procurement efforts. The City of Norwalk, Connecticut and Jimmy Carter Regional Airport in Georgia posted less detailed notices. Performance bonds, insurance requirements (often $1 million to $2 million in liability coverage), and one-year establishment or maintenance obligations are standard in recent solicitations.
